Surface Battery Tips and Tricks - Part 1 

Just got an i5 8gig and it will go from 100% to 70 in an hour and 40 minutes. I also noticed that there are a ton of processes running. Any tips on that?

How many hours are u getting on your i7 surface pro? I'm only getting about 6-7 on mine, even with battery saver on. Is there anything I should change in my settings to get more battery life?

Thanks for the consistent videos and helpful tips, Brett! Question: Would you mind sharing what program you use for your video editing, adding text and graphics, etc?

What app are you using to get the battery percentage on the taskbar? Great series! Thanks

im only getting 2 - 3 hours on my i5 model, i am majoring in computer science and do alot of game dev. when using unity it dies after 2-3 hours of use even with battery saver. help? (currently writing at 5%)

can I use it while charging?

My Surface Pro 5 has a problem with 255% Available (Plugged In) while battery Icon in tray shows empty and battery stopped working completely. How can I fix it?

Should i plugged while use my surface book when atbhome or used battery only ???

I can no longer run a battery report (I had been able to up until two days ago). When I type: "powercfg /batteryreport" in the Command Prompt the below message appears. "Unable to perform operation. An unexpected error (0x422) has occurred: The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it." I ran Surface Diagnostic Toolkit, Windows 10 system file checker tool, and updated drivers/firmware but nothing helped. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I have pro 5 for 16 months now, 7 days ago my battery capacity decreased by 0.3% a day later decreased by 1% after another one day decreased by 2% and today by 2.6% so the capacity now is 97.4%, what is the explanation of this decrease, it decreases every day?

Thanks for the tips. Very helpful as ever :)

Very helpful as always.

Another helpful video full of tips. Thank you.

You have any resources to back that statement of Edge using less power on mobile devices?

Excellent Thanks!

I bought a Surface pro 7 today and the battery doesn't even charge. It's constantly on 0%

Why would you buy a powerful laptop if you use it with battery saver on the whole time

The battery sucks..

please stop making video on the surface pen and surface pro. You are saying these bullshit stuff and make everyone buy the product. Microsoft secretly stop selling the pen due to the intermittent pen inaccuracy when hand is on the screen. The new surface pen horrible. If my hand is not on the screen, the pen is perfectly accurate, even at an angle. About 50% of the time, if I begin a stroke with my hand already resting on the screen, there is a significant offset of the pen line to the actual tip position. This makes hand-writing nigh impossible. There are many comment on the Microsoft page. However, Microsoft doesn't response anything when there are 35 pages of negative feedback. I also do not understand why well known websites are still advertising the combination new Surface + new Pen as the best on the market and none of them makes a real review of how bad really is! We can continue to write and complain on this forum trying to find the craziest solution, but I do not believe it will make any difference. We do not have any visibility on the net and this is just helping Microsoft to hide the 'big secret'! Should we try all together to take action for example through social media? Or start contacting known websites to put pressure on the responsable people?
