Surface Pro 4: Battery life is back after 5 years!!

I have bought my Surface Pro  4 in December 2015 and have been using it fantastically except the battery was almost dead after about 2.5 years. The battery was not lasting for even 5 minutes. Last week, I had some difficulty with this device for which I decided to do a 'factory reset', and surprisingly, the device is working like new including it's battery! It is true! Now the battery is lasting for about 6 hours! I would strongly recommend everyone to do the same if you want to bring back your battery life. Just wanted to share with you!!

    Will you lose information after you perform the reset?

    At last a helpful suggestion

    Thank you. I have an SP4 which I gave up for dead and bought an SP6.  After two years it in turn seems  dead. I have tried everything and none have worked. Managed to coax some charge into the sp4 and resetting now. Don't know if I can resuscitate sp6. Have tried a 60 w charger in the past. Would something more powerful have any better chance?
