Microsoft says Surface Pro 3 battery issues will be addressed via software

Microsoft has finally commented on the Surface Pro 3 battery degradation issue that many users have been facing for months now. According to a moderator on the company's official forums, the issue has nothing to do with the battery cells, and can be thankfully addressed via a software update.

Here's what exactly he said:

We are aware of some customers reporting a scenario with their Surface Pro 3 batteries in which the system is reporting lower battery capacity than expected. We’ve isolated this to a limited number of customers experiencing this issue.

We’re working through the details of how we deliver that.

Now that the issue has been officially acknowledged by the Redmond, Washington-based company as well as confirmed to be software-related, an update containing the fix should be on the way sooner than later.
