✏️ 1. Avoid Excess Pressure to Protect the Pen Tip

Pressing too hard won’t improve accuracy — it only wears down the pen tip faster.
To extend its lifespan:

• Use normal writing pressure, similar to using a real pen.

• Avoid repeated heavy strokes or aggressive shading.

• Apply a matte screen protector cautiously — it adds paper-like friction but increases tip wear.

A healthy pen tip ensures more precise lines, smoother movement, and less screen damage.

🎨 2. Keep the Pen Tip Clean for Better Accuracy

Dust, oil, or debris on the tip can cause skipping, jitter, or scratches.
Good maintenance habits:

• Wipe the tip with a soft microfiber cloth regularly.

• Avoid touching the tip with oily fingers.

• Replace the tip immediately if you notice slipping or inconsistent lines.

Clean tips directly translate to better performance in drawing apps like Procreate or Note-taking apps like GoodNotes.

🔋 3. Use Proper Charging Habits to Extend Battery Life

Lithium batteries naturally degrade, but smart charging can slow this process significantly.

Best practices:

• Avoid letting the battery drop below 20% frequently.

• Unplug the stylus once it reaches 100%.

• Use the original charger or a high-quality 5V charger to avoid voltage damage.

• Store the stylus at around 50% charge if you won’t use it for weeks.

These habits keep your stylus battery healthy and help it last longer.

⚡ 4. Avoid Overheating to Protect Battery Lifespan

Heat is the biggest enemy of lithium batteries — and stylus pens are no exception.

Try to avoid:

• Leaving the stylus in a hot car

• Charging it near heat sources

• Using high-watt “fast chargers” that aren’t recommended

A cooler battery = a longer-lasting stylus.

🧰 5. Replace Tips and Charge Ports Before They Become a Problem

Stylus tips are consumables — manufacturers design them to be replaced.
If you notice:

• Slipping strokes

• Offset lines

• Scratching noises

• Poor screen contact

…then it’s time for a new tip.

Similarly, keep the charging port clean and dust-free to avoid unstable charging.

✔️ Final Thoughts

A stylus is a daily tool, and like any tool, proper care extends its lifespan.
By using the right pressure, keeping the tip clean, charging correctly, avoiding heat, and replacing worn components, you can enjoy months or even years of smooth, accurate performance.
