Charging guidance
Microsoft support recommends a USB-C PD charger of at least 27 W. Fast Charging needs at least 45 W and charges the battery up to 80% in about an hour. The consumer technical specifications name a minimum 60 W charger for fast charging, so the two Microsoft documents differ. No charger is included.5Owner's manualsupport.microsoft.com/surface/models/surface-pro-12-inch-2nd-edition-featuresRead 14 October 2026Charging your Surface: use either USB-C port with a USB Type-C PD charger. At least 27 W recommended. For Fast Charging use at least 45 W, which charges up to 80% in about an hour. The consumer technical specification table says a minimum 60 W charger. The US store says no power supply is included and any 27 W or higher USB-C supply works
Fast charging from 5% to 80% requires a minimum 65 W Surface power supply or a USB-C PD charger rated at 60 W or higher, sold separately. The selected US device includes a 39 W power supply. Maximum tablet input and charge duration are not stated.3Maker product pagelearn.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/tech-specs/surface-pro-snapdragon-tech-specsRead 8 October 2026Current model footnote 15 specifies minimum 65 W Surface supply or USB-C PD rated at least 60 W, separately sold, for 5% to 80% fast charging. March 2024 preproduction test, device on desktop with default display brightness, controlled 23 C. Original 2024 PDF body says 65 W while footnote says 45 W, so the internally inconsistent older footnote is not used. No charging interval or input maximum inferred.
