Why does the Apple Pencil take so long to charge?

The Apple Pencil is a great tool for taking notes, drawing, and more on your iPad. However, one downside to the Pencil is that it takes a long time to charge. In this article, we’ll explain why the Apple Pencil takes so long to charge and what you can do to speed up the process.

One reason the Apple Pencil takes so long to charge is that it has a small battery. The Pencil’s battery is only 6.91 watt-hours, compared to the iPad’s 27.12 watt-hour battery. This means that the Pencil’s battery can only store a fraction of the energy of the iPad’s battery.

Another reason the Pencil takes so long to charge is that it uses a slow charging method. The Pencil charges via USB-C, but it uses a slower charging standard called USB 2.0. This means that it takes longer to charge the Pencil than it would take to charge another device with a faster charging standard such as USB 3.0 or Thunderbolt 3.

If you’re in a hurry and need to use your Apple Pencil, there are a few things you can do to speed up charging process

Use an iPad Pro: The Apple Pencil charges significantly faster when connected to an iPad Pro than when connected to an iPad Air or iPad mini. This is because the Pro has a higher-wattage charger than other iPads.

Use fast charging: If you have an iPhone 8 or later, you can use Apple’s 29W, 61W, or 87W USB-C Power Adapters to charge your Apple Pencil faster. Simply connect your pencil to one of these adapters using a Lightning to USB-C Cable (included with your iPhone) and then plug the adapter into a wall outlet. Using one of these adapters will charge your pencil much faster than using a standard 5W adapter or your computer’s USB port.

We hope this article has helped you understand why the Apple Pencil takes so long to charge and how you can speed up the process if needed!
