An Apple Pencil is “always on” - although when motionless and undisturbed, its Bluetooth radio will be shut-down to a low-power state to reduce battery depletion. As soon as the built-in accelerometer detects movement, the Bluetooth radio will become active.


It is recommended that you keep a second generation Apple Pencil docked with your iPad whenever it is not being actively used. Doing so will ensure that the Pencil battery is optimally charged - and, importantly, is protected from deep discharge.


An Pencil set-aside, unused and/or uncharged for an extended period, will fully deplete its battery - potentially leading to irreversible battery damage. As Apple Pencil is sealed for life, if the battery is damaged or fails, the only remedy is replacement of the Pencil itself.
