Get to know Surface

Battery and power

Surface comes with an internal lithium-ion battery so you can take it with you on the go.

How much battery charge is left?

The battery status appears in a few different places.

Lock screen When you wake up Surface, the battery status appears on the lock screen (lower-left corner).

Charms When you swipe in from the right- edge of the screen, the battery status appears in the lower-left corner of the screen.

Desktop taskbar When you’re in the desktop, the battery status appears on the taskbar (lower-right corner). Tap or click the battery icon for info about the charging and battery status (including the percentage remaining).

Windows alerts you when the battery starts to get low. When you’re alerted, be sure to attach the power supply. If you don’t recharge the battery, Surface will eventually save your work and shut down.

Charge Surface

Use the included power supply to charge your Surface.

A small light appears at the end of the connector to show that Surface is getting power.

To make sure your Surface is charging, swipe in from the right-edge of the screen and look at the lower left to see the battery status. The battery icon should appear with an electrical plug.
