It is essential that if you have an Apple Pencil that you charge it regularly - whether used or not - so as to protect the battery from deep-discharge. Even some “new” pencils can exhibit signs of failure out-of-the-box if they are “old stock”. The tiny internal Li-ion battery is susceptible to permanent/irreversible damage through being left discharged for long periods. ![]() When disconnected from iPad, does the Pencil disappear from the Battery Widget - or it’s indicated state of charge suddenly fall?
