Mechanical Pencil Lifecycle

great battery, lifecycle is very good

Great lead supply for my mechanical pencil. These are very thick and so far, not a single has broken even when I extend a bit. Very happy with these lead refills.

I started off with the Watson 4-AA charger and have moved up to the 8-AA charger... because I use it ALL THE TIME. I still use one-use brand name batteries for flashes, LED light banks, and wireless transmitters and receivers. But, everything else gets the Watsons; i.e., audio recording devices, mics, etc. They help bring down my battery costs... and throw less battery acid into the recycle bin. When I order new Watson AA batteries, I put a mark on them to indicate which batch they are. First group lifecycle = 1; second group = 2. I have up to three group lifecycles going on at a time. Why? Because you want to know which ones are at or near the end of their productive lifecycle. For me, they seem to last about 30 recharges each... After that, they do not hold the charge that well, nor sustain the delivery of power... and they are not supposed to do it. The 30 recharges I get are already value on value of savings. Even at the end of a lifecycle, I can use them for really low-level energy devices (like remote controls). I just recommend knowing when to get rid of them. The charger does make the batteries hot, from time to time. That's how it re-activates the acids in them. I have tried other brands of AA battery rechargers and they all get questionably hot. The only rechargers that do not get batteries hot are like my pro-level camera batteries, but those are way more expensive. For the price, these are priceless.

Zero to stress about. Place your batteries in it, when they're fully charged, it will stop charging, which will maintain its lifecycle to the fullest. Gotta love the attention to detail. If you have more than one battery especially, I highly recommend giving these a look. Also, the design in general just makes sense.

Nice pencil.

The best mechanical hard drive I had ever used.

I never realized I could be such an artist. This pencil can do it all.

I have never owned an Apple Pencil but I do not know that I would need one after using this one.

This pencil has so many features! 1. Durable! I have dropped my pencil many times by mistake, and every time it bounces off hard tile floors or concrete, and it has not broken at all. 2. Gestures on the Side. I use the double-tap to switch between pen and eraser 3. Replaceable Tips. A lifesaver. I once dropped it right on the tip, and dented the tip badly. I replaced it, and voila! it worked again. 4. Tilt gestures...the feature you didn't know you needed. The eraser, for example, gets bigger when the Pencil is tilted. 5. Wireless charging, WOW! I love wireless charging. It simply clips onto my iPad Pro, and it's always charged and ready. 6. Future-proofing. The new M2 iPad Pros support Apple Pencil Hover, which is amazing in Procreate....here's the kicker...this 4+ year old pencil supports it!

I just recently got a Apple Pencil to start using my iPad for my drawings and I wanted something that would stop my pencil from sliding around on the screen, having fingerprints in the way, and will have an overall easier feel. I found Paperlike and watched many reviews. I wasn’t sure if I should buy it but I’m glad that I did because it has helped me a lot. I have a lot more control of my pencil and my drawings come out a lot better. I would 10/10 recommend this product.
