The Surface will draw what it needs, but you should avoid low-quality chargers.<\/p>\n<h3>Why does my Surface charge very slowly?<\/h3>\n<p>Most commonly: charger wattage is too low, cable is limiting USB-C power, or the port\/connector is worn. Move up to the recommended fast-charge wattage and use a quality cable.<\/p>\n<h3>What wattage is \u201cbest\u201d for Surface Pro?<\/h3>\n<p>It depends on the model.
