It also happens that Lithium Ion degrades with time using it or not, undercharge, overcharge (granted, the charging circuit won't allow these 2), or temperature variations.
So it could go well down to ~2 years before needing too frequent charging.
Also since it's a pen, it will fall a lot, this will also lower this value.
Probably the pen will last long enough but it's definitely a product made to be replaced along the iPad or something like this.
