Can someone please tell me how many times it will charge the surface 2 rt on a single charge? Thank You!

If you run the battery down completely, 3 maybe 4 times. Otherwise, it'll vary alot.

I have a Surface RT and it works fine, I'm sure it will work with Surface 2 since it is a newer system.

No problem! I'll try to do some more testing tonight, but so far I've only tried charging the tablet itself. The only way I was able to verify that it charged was to make note of the battery life before plugging it in, then check the numerical status after 20 minutes. During that time, my battery widget showed an increase from 94% to 97%. I'm not sure if the keyboard dock needs the full 2 A to set off the LED charging indicator (since that's what the OEM AC adapter ouputs) but I'll try it out tonight and report back. Either way, if you're interested in picking one of these up, I just got mine for $60 shipped from buy.com No problem!

This is for the Surface RT only and will not work with other models, including the Surface 2 (tried it - didn't fit).

I have a Surface Pro 3, and it doesn't work well. The problem is that the unit is designs to use two USB ports and the Surface Pro only has one. To make it work I use a separate power cube from my iPad to power the second USB connection. I think you'd be better off with a drive that has a separate power supply.

I have charged 2 devices at a time with no issues. It can run about 5-6 full charges on devices before you need to plug it in again.

So far I have to say no. I bought it thinking the dimensions were the same as the original Surface RT...seems I was wrong. The input holes don't line up, and the kickstand opens farther on Surface 2 and the case won't open far enough to allow the kickstand to open up all the way. Sending it back...hope Incipio makes one for Surface 2.

You have two différent connectors. One for surface and surface 2, the other one for surface pro and surface pro 2. This one is for surface and surface 2.

I am not all sure. But I saw that some buyers bought "Intocircuit Power Castle PC26000 26000mAh External Battery Pack/High Capacity Power Bank charger for Laptops, Notebooks, Netbooks, Tablets and Smart Phones"($96.99, sold by Intocircuit) and "New Power Charger Adapter Cable fit for Microsoft Surface RT Surface Pro" by ElementDigital ($7.99). Maybe that these two together worked fine as these buyers wrote.

In theory it should be able to supply 500mA to any given port, of course with a power supply of only 1000mA it will not do so to all ports. I have been able to charge both phones and tablets without any problem, however I have not tried more than two at a time.

It never happend with me that it stopped charging, It always charges very good and sometimes I charge more than one device at the sametime.For the other part that when you hook it up to charge it and only the last light blinks, this tells you that it is 75% charged as each ligh when it is sold on, it represents 25% of the charging.

Yes mine did it twice. The first time it happened, after a few days of charging when i unplugged it, it came on. lasted a few more weeks did it again.

Dear Norma,We did not get the chance to test it with Surface 2 because the Surface 2 launched after our product. Also, we have no official words from Microsoft regarding the battery's capacity. Thus it may not charge if Microsoft (like Samsung) uses a proprietary cable.Moreover, you're welcome to try it. We do offer 30 days return if customers are not satisfied with our product.

In a word, beautifully. We have a surface pro 2 with a docking station and actually bought a second port replicator to plug into one of the USB 3 slots. We run two additional monitors, one touch one not, with the surface. If you have issues getting touch to work, google the touch screen setup for windows 8. A tool in the control panel makes it work after some quick setup. GREAT monitor! We have 3 in our office now.

Yes, that is true. The only flaw with that is that it makes it difficult to charge your surface RT because the cut out isn't big enough for the RT charging port. I just made that part of the port bigger by cutting a small piece out so that I am able to charge it while being in the case.

I just realized that you asked about the Surface 2, not the RT. So pay attention that my response refers to the RT. If same size screen, then no problem.
