Charge Your Apple Pencil 1st Generation

1. Remove the cap from the back of your Apple Pencil 1st Generation.
2. Plug the Lightning input on the back of your Apple Pencil into your iPad’s Lightning Port.
3. Your Apple Pencil will fast charge once it is plugged in to your iPad.

Why this works:

Unlike some other styluses, the Apple Pencil is powered by a battery. If your Apple Pencil suddenly stopped working, it’s possible that it just needs to be charged!

Luckily, charging your Apple Pencil 1st Generation is simple, and there are a few options for how to do it!

Pro tip:

• If you want to check your Apple Pencil’s battery life, go to your iPad’s Home screen and swipe from left to right. You should see your Apple Pencil’s battery life listed under the Batteries heading of the Today View.
