How to Check Battery of Apple Pencil
The Apple Pencil has become an essential tool for many creative professionals and students, thanks to its seamless integration with the iPad and its precision in note-taking and drawing. However, like any electronic device, the Apple Pencil requires regular maintenance, including checking its battery level. In this article, we will guide you on how to check the battery of your Apple Pencil, ensuring that you are always prepared for your creative endeavors.
Checking the Battery Level on the Apple Pencil
The first method to check the battery level of your Apple Pencil is through the iPad itself. Here’s how to do it:
1. Make sure your iPad is unlocked and the Apple Pencil is attached to it.
2. Open the “Settings” app on your iPad.
3. Scroll down and tap on “Battery.”
4. Look for your Apple Pencil in the list of devices. The battery percentage will be displayed next to it.
Checking the Battery Level on the Apple Pencil Case
If your Apple Pencil comes with a Smart Connector case, you can also check the battery level by looking at the case. Here’s how:
1. Make sure your Apple Pencil is inserted into the case.
2. Look for the battery icon on the side of the case. If it’s a full battery icon, your Apple Pencil has at least 80% charge. If it’s a half battery icon, it has between 40% and 80% charge, and if it’s a quarter battery icon, it has between 20% and 40% charge.
3. If the battery icon is empty, your Apple Pencil is likely below 20% charge and should be charged immediately.
Checking the Battery Level with the Apple Pencil’s Built-in LED Indicator
Another way to check the battery level of your Apple Pencil is by looking at the built-in LED indicator. Here’s how:
1. With the Apple Pencil attached to your iPad, press the button on the side of the Pencil.
2. The LED indicator will light up and display a series of solid and blinking lights to indicate the battery level. For example, a solid light means the battery is at least 80% charged, a blinking light means the battery is between 20% and 80% charged, and no light means the battery is below 20% charged.
Charging Your Apple Pencil
If your Apple Pencil’s battery is low, it’s important to charge it promptly. Here’s how to charge your Apple Pencil:
1. Make sure your Apple Pencil is detached from your iPad.
2. Insert the Apple Pencil into the Smart Connector port on the back of your iPad or into the charging port of the Apple Pencil case.
3. The LED indicator will light up and begin charging. Once fully charged, the indicator will turn off.
By following these simple steps, you can easily check the battery level of your Apple Pencil and ensure that it’s always ready for your next creative project. Happy drawing!
