I was also able to charge it via USB-C using some battery packs I've been testing, though quite slowly.

Suffice to say that for the use case where the Surface Go excels-watching videos, browsing the web, and working with documents-you can now count on a full workday out of the battery. That's an impressive step up from the older model, which loved a wall socket in a way few devices do these days. In our standard battery drain test, dimming the screen to around 80 percent and looping a YouTube video, the Go 2 stayed on for just under nine hours. That's all with the Type Cover connected to it too. The Go 2 has managed to go all day under my normal workload, writing in a text editor, browsing the web, communicating over apps like Slack and Zoom, and playing some music in the background. In the original Go, battery life rarely went beyond six hours.
