Apple pencil 1

I just got an Apple pencil, 1st generation, for my iPad mini. I'd be grateful if someone could answer these questions:

Does it make a difference whether you charge it through the iPad or a lightning cable?

About how long does it take to be fully charged?

About how long does the charge last?

Thanks so much.

I charge mine via the iPad, it’s very rare that I charge via the cable.

It lasts about a day & half of regular use, I don’t try let it get too low though.

It’s quite quick on my iPad Pro 9.7, 20 minutes.
