How to Charge Apple Pencil?

I panicked the first time too. Turns out my Pencil wasn’t charging because my iPad case blocked the magnetic connection. Removed the case, stuck it on the side, and boom—charging instantly. If it’s not charging, check cases, dirt on connectors, or whether Bluetooth is on.
 
So how to charge an Apple Pencil? Step one: make sure you bought the right Pencil for your iPad. Step two: accept that Apple designed two totally different systems just to keep life interesting. Step three: don’t lose the tiny adapter they give you, because you’ll never see it again.
 
From long-term use, how to charge an Apple Pencil safely comes down to consistency. Avoid letting it drain to 0% often, don’t leave it plugged in for days unused, and store it attached to the iPad if it’s the 2nd gen. These batteries are small, and good habits noticeably extend their lifespan.
