Apple Pencil Pro battery life without frequent use

Hello. I have a question about using the Apple pencil pro. I can't find the information on the Internet. Can I keep Pencil offline for a long time? I don't use it that often, and using an iPad with a pencil attached to it is not always convenient. As I understand it, the karanshad does not turn off, but simply discharges. Can the pencil battery deteriorate if I don't use it for several days in a row? Maybe there is a way to exclude him somehow. I'm just really worried about its battery, but I just don't need it that often, and when I attach it to the ipad, it's not very convenient to use it. Are there any tips on how to keep the pencil separate from the ipad and not ruin its battery?


iPad Pro, iPadOS 18

Rechargeable lithium batteries, not just the ones used in the Apple Pencils, should not be left either fully discharged or with a very low charge, for extended periods of time. Thinks multiple weeks, months, etc. If left in this state, they tend to lose their ability to be fully charged.


I suggest keeping all of your devices, that use these types of batteries, be fully charged once every other week when not used.
