Battery discharges when stored in warehouseArvosana 2/5
I bought a new Apple Pencil with the battery discharged to a few percent, it turned out that it only works autonomously for 7 hours, and charges for about half an hour. After exchanging for a new one through the service center, the battery of the new Apple Pencil was already discharged to zero percent, and the operating time was even slightly worse than the first one. I believe that the Apple Pencil cannot but be in a completely disconnected state, constantly consuming charge in standby mode, as well as in attempting to connect when movement or radio signals are detected. Accordingly, in most warehouses it simply cannot be stored long enough (a year or more) so that the battery does not completely discharge. If so, then I would call this a big flaw for Apple.
It’s also unpleasant that technical issues regarding battery life and battery life are not officially disclosed. People on the official Apple forum say that the battery life should be 12 hours, but the trick is that Apple is somewhat on the side of this, without explicitly stating this characteristic anywhere (I could not find it in any official technical specifications). All we have in fact are just the words of an ordinary person from the forum.
The results of my tests showed that the discharge rate in the first hour corresponds to 12 hours of operation, but then the discharge occurs faster.
I wrote to Verkkokauppa technical support asking for clarification on what charge level is considered acceptable for a new device immediately after purchase, but did not receive an answer.
The Apple Pencil is good, but the copy you purchased will most likely have a discharged and degraded battery. Just to let you know.
Due to the inconveniences described above, including wasting effort, time, and money on testing, and trips to the service center with an unresolved problem, I cannot give the product more than 2 stars despite all its advantages.
