Should Apple Pencil Always Be Charged (attached to iPad) [AQ]

It's a question for all the Apple Pencil users out there. Should the pencil be always attached to the side of the iPad? Or is it best to keep it aside while not using it? That's the topic for this video. I tried to cover all the points that needed to be addressed.

Hope this video helps you out.

I spoke to an Apple representative who recommended me not to leave it attached unless needed, as it may keep draining your iPad's battery and slightly shorten your Pencil's lifespan

I'm calling BS on this one. My first second-generation Apple Pencil stayed on my iPad for over a year, and the battery went bad. When I went to Apple, they told me that the Pencil should not always be attached to the iPad for charging unless it needs to be charged for use. When not in use, the Pencil should be placed off to the side and allowed to go to sleep until needed again.

One thing I have found useful is that u can keep the apple pencil docked to your ipad but you can turn off the bluetooth that way it won’t keep on charging and will not affect Ipad’s battery health

i've buyed a second hand pencil 2 at a very low price (fortunately), but battery seems to be dead i've tried all tips, and in last hand trying to warm up the pen on a heating system but still not working, so as an advice always pair up the pencil even if it's drain the ipad battery, but still it's definitely a design problem...

I'm writing this with the new Apple Pencil pro! Amazing, new upgrade

It is such a strange design. I was wondering if it was safe if I stored my pencil the opposite way like pointing up? I bought a keyboard/case with a pencil slot and was wondering if it would harm the pencil or iPad battery if it’s not properly “docked”?
I read about how it can drain the iPad battery and I don’t want that to happen when I go to bed or to work

I never always docked, my pencil was not charged for 6 months, and it still has 100% battery 🤷🏻‍♂️ just make sure you disconnect the pencil, always charging you device can degraded the battery no matter how technologically advance it built

If the apple pencil 2nd gen is already full, and still attached to iPad, will it decrease the battery life of the iPad itself?

Hey guys I just spoke with an apple representative. They said its completely fine to leave it docked. You guys could directly chat with Apple texting on their support phone number.

the problem is not in the apple pencil battery.
its the ipad battery that gets drained by keeping the pencil docked.
look it up !
