On the Start screen, you can also type power, select Settings, and then select Power Options. Different power meter icons indicate whether the tablet is running on battery or external power. The icon also reveals a message if the battery has reached a low or critical battery level. Running on battery power When a charged battery is in the tablet and the tablet is not plugged into external power, the tablet runs on battery power. If the tablet has a charged battery installed and the AC adapter is disconnected from the tablet, the tablet automatically switches to battery power and the screen brightness decreases to conserve battery life. The battery in the tablet slowly discharges when the tablet is off and unplugged from external power. Tablet battery life varies, depending on power management settings, programs running on the tablet, screen brightness, external devices connected to the tablet, and other factors.

If Battery Check indicates that your battery should be replaced, contact support. The battery in this product cannot be easily replaced by users themselves.
