How to charge the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE S Pen
It may be a bit more confusing to figure out how to charge the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE S Pen. This is because the stylus has no ports, so you can’t just plug it in. Additionally, the Galaxy Tab S9 FE doesn’t explicitly show you where the S Pen should go. Other Galaxy Tabs do, in the form of a differently colored and textured long section in the back. The Galaxy Tab S9 FE shows no separation in the back, and it just looks like an aluminum slab.
We’re here to help, though. You can charge the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE by magnetically attaching it to the same place we’ve seen Samsung placing the charging section in the other Galaxy Tab S9 series tablets. This is in the back, right between the cameras and the Samsung logo. You can see the example in the image above. Once attached, the S Pen will start charging. Just leave it there and wait for wireless charging to do its job.
How to check the S Pen battery life on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE
Got no time to waste? You can check how far along your S Pen has charged. To do this, just attach your S Pen to the back of the Galaxy Tab S9 FE, in the same area we mentioned in the last section. When attached and charging, long-press the S Pen button. The tablet screen will show you the battery level of the S Pen.
If you want to check the S Pen’s battery level without it being attached, you can press the S Pen button to open the Air Command menu. The battery percentage should show up at the top of the tablet’s screen. The battery percentage will also show up if you go into the Settings in the Air command menu.
