When Battery Limit is enabled, the battery charge will be limited to 50% of its maximum capacity. The charge level reported in Windows will reflect this limit. Therefore, it will show that the battery is charged up to 50% and will not charge beyond this limit. If you enable Battery Limit while the device is above 50% charge, the Battery icon will show that the device is plugged in but discharging until the device reaches 50% of its maximum charge capacity. -Adding the Battery Limit option to Surface UEFI requires a [Surface UEFI firmware update](update.md), available through Windows Update or via the MSI driver and firmware packages on the Microsoft Download Center.
