Microsoft Surface Pro 4 running without a battery
Hi i have a use case where we would like to use the Microsoft Surface pro 4 without a battery, eg. running it only from its power supply. It is possible to remove the battery as per this ifixit guide: https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Microsoft+Surface+Pro+4+Battery+Replacement/60358#
The question however is will it run without a battery?

For this particular application we cant have batteries around in the enviroment.

I see. In that case, I’d say the Surface Pro 4 is simply not a suitable device. You most likely want a touchscreen. Those are available separately, also in industry-“hardened” versions. Try looking into these.

Agreed, simply using a rugget windows 10 tablet with replacable batteries would indeed be much easier. But not add to the estetics like the Surface does. So from a technical point of view i would still be interested if anyone has experience with running the surface 4 without the battery inside it.

I recently had to remove my surface pro 4 battery. It was malfunctioning and also had produced some gas inside the battery cover so the lcd was about to break. Since it was out of gaurantee I did the removal my self.
The result was a big no to your question.
It wont turn on without the battery in the circuit.
