You can check your battery usage history in the Settings app(Under System-> Battery Saver ->Battery use) where you might be able to find the culprit of battery drains.

Hi guys,

I have been using my SB for 1 month and can only get 6 to 6.5 hours battery life with the keyboard attached. This is with having maybe 3-4 tabs in Edge open and Excel/Word open as well. Microsoft Support told me this was normal battery life, but I simply cannot believe this, as every single review I have come across says it should get at least 10 hours.

Anyone else having the same experience?

Yeah I've got 5 hours consistently on the laptop with some web browsing / excel / one note. I think I got a dud, has anyone gone through the warranty process with the battery?

I'm pretty sure with the battery non-removeable they would just swap out for a new SB. But we all know the battery issues are with every SB device since launch including new SB's. Microsoft is apparently still working on a fix. There are workarounds to improve battery life but I'm sure you've seen those in the forum.
