The Surface Pro is a powerful and versatile device, but it can be frustrating when you’re away from an outlet and need to charge it. Fortunately, there are several ways to charge your Surface Pro without a charger. In this blog post, we’ll explore all the possible methods to keep your Surface Pro powered up on the go.
Using a Power Bank
A power bank is a portable battery that can be used to charge your Surface Pro. Simply connect the power bank to your Surface Pro using a USB-C cable, and it will start charging. Power banks come in a variety of capacities, so you can choose one that fits your needs. For example, a 10,000mAh power bank can provide up to two full charges for your Surface Pro.
Using a Car Charger
If you’re driving, you can use a car charger to charge your Surface Pro. Car chargers plug into your car’s cigarette lighter socket, and they provide a USB-C port for charging your device. Car chargers typically have a lower output than power banks, so it will take longer to charge your Surface Pro using this method.
Using a USB-C Hub with Power Delivery
A USB-C hub with power delivery can be used to charge your Surface Pro while also connecting other devices, such as an external monitor or a hard drive. USB-C hubs with power delivery have a USB-C port that supports Power Delivery, which allows them to provide up to 100 watts of power to your Surface Pro.
Using a Wireless Charger
If you have a Surface Pro with a Qi wireless charging receiver, you can use a wireless charger to charge it. Simply place your Surface Pro on the wireless charger, and it will start charging. Wireless chargers are convenient, but they are not as fast as wired chargers.
Using a Solar Charger
If you’re going to be spending time outdoors, you can use a solar charger to charge your Surface Pro. Solar chargers use sunlight to generate electricity, which can then be used to charge your device. Solar chargers are a great option for camping or hiking trips.
Using a USB-C to USB-A Adapter
If you only have a USB-A charger, you can use a USB-C to USB-A adapter to charge your Surface Pro. However, this method is not as efficient as using a USB-C charger, and it will take longer to charge your device.
Using a Battery Case
A battery case is a case that contains a built-in battery. Battery cases can provide your Surface Pro with extra battery life, and they can also be used to charge your device. Battery cases are available in a variety of styles and capacities, so you can choose one that fits your needs.
The Bottom Line: Power Up Your Surface Pro Without Limits
With so many options available, you’re sure to find a way to charge your Surface Pro without a charger that fits your needs. Whether you’re on the go or just want to have a backup charging method, these methods will help you keep your Surface Pro powered up and ready to use.
