  1. Without plugged in, the battery can only lasts for 3.5 hours.


    I don't play games and I just use the surface pro 7 to watch some videos and browse webs or even listen to the music. I bought this surface pro 7 on 9th November, 2020 online, and got it on 12th. Since the beginning, it is just like that ,poor battery performance, but I was busy at work and didn't take it in mind. With the time going, I think I should put it up to someone that know something about this kind of situation that if this is normal to the use of 3.5 hours.

    If the laptop works without the battery then charger is functioning correctly. Take a cloth with a bit of rubbing alcohol on it (or some on-the-go alcohol swabs), and clean the metal contacts that connect your battery to your laptop.

    Make sure to install all Windows important updates.

    Install latest versions of your laptop device drivers you can download the latest device drivers from the device manufacturer or from your laptop manufacturer website.

    5. Open the Device Manager by typing Devmgmt.msc into Start Menu or from Control Panel.

    6. Under the Batteries category, right-click all of the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery listings, and select Uninstall (it’s ok if you only have 1).
