How to remove and replace the Surface Pen's battery

Got a Surface Pen that's running low on battery? Here's a handy guide on how to replace the battery.

The Surface Pen is an incredibly useful tool and accessory for the Surface Pro, Surface Studio, Surface Laptop and Surface Book. It's a battery-powered peripheral, meaning at some point the Surface Pen will stop working unless the battery is replaced. The Surface Pen uses a AAAA battery, meaning you may have to find replacement batteries online rather than in stores.

If your Surface Pen stopped working, that might be because the battery has run out. Don't worry, changing it is easy, Here's our step-by-step guide to help you along. Make sure you have the correct batteries before you begin. A single AAAA battery is required for replacement. You can find them on Amazon here.

(Note: The images in this article show the older Surface Pen and not the newest model. The process for replacing the battery is the same, except for one difference. The older Pen requires that you twist the cap before removing it to replace the battery. The new Pen's cap just pulls right off.)
