{"title":"For Microsoft","description":"\u003ch3\u003eIs it difficult to replace a Microsoft Surface battery myself?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt depends on which battery your Surface uses, and it is worth checking before you order. Keyboard-base packs — Surface Book 2 13.5-inch (1835), Surface Book 2 15-inch (1793 \/ 1813) and Surface Laptop 3 13.5-inch (1867 \/ 1868) — are the straightforward ones: remove the base cover, undo a few screws, unplug the connector and swap in the new\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor Microsoft\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ebattery. The Surface Pro, Surface 3, Surface RT and Surface Laptop (1769) packs sit inside a bonded chassis, and the Surface Book 13.5-inch display battery sits behind the screen panel; those need heat, plastic prying tools and steady hands, and the display job also needs a T4 Torx driver. Budget 45–90 minutes for a first attempt. If your only machine is the one on the bench, a local repair shop is a reasonable alternative — many will fit a customer-supplied battery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I find the right For Microsoft battery for my Surface?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheck three things in order. First, the model number printed on the device rather than the marketing name — Surface Laptop 1769 and 1782, or Surface Book 2 13.5-inch and 15-inch, look alike but take different packs. Second, on a Surface Book, decide which battery has failed: the display-side pack (G3HTA044H family, 7.5 V \/ 18 Wh) and the keyboard-base pack (G3HTA049H or G3HTA040H family, 11.36 V \/ ~60 Wh) are separate products with different voltages, so the voltage reading tells you immediately which one you need. Third, match the part number printed on your current pack against the replacement list on the product page. Send us all three and we will confirm the fit before you pay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long will my For Microsoft replacement battery last?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor Microsoft\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ebattery uses Grade-A cells rated for 500+ full charge cycles, which works out to roughly 3–5 years of everyday use. To reach that, avoid leaving the Surface plugged in at 100% for weeks on end — Windows devices spend a lot of time on the charger, so enable the built-in battery-limit or smart-charging feature if your model offers it. Keep the device out of sustained heat, avoid deep discharges to zero, and run a full calibration cycle about once a month so the percentage readout stays accurate. Every battery is covered by a 1-year warranty and ships free.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/4856\/9677\/collections\/Microsoft-G3HTA044H-7.5V-18Wh-Laptop-Battery-1.jpg?v=1790219288","url":"https:\/\/www.etesbay.com\/en-us\/collections\/for-microsoft.oembed","provider":"etesbay","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
