Information handling system stylus with power management through acceleration and sound context

An information handling system stylus includes components to support active tip writing inputs at a touchscreen display with the active tip powered by a rechargeable battery. An accelerometer and microphone included in the housing cooperate to manage battery life with instructions executed on a processing resource included in the accelerometer and/or microphone. The instructions apply different wake behaviors to manage stylus power consumption based upon whether the stylus couples to and information handling system, such as monitoring stylus motion with different wake intervals and monitoring for predetermined acceleration profiles, such as walking, falling and rolling.
