It had a 66% charge from the last time I used it... It's not so much the OS as the device firmware, since the Surface 4 runs the same OS but has significantly worse battery performance.

That's a joke, right? The battery held a charge for 6 years?!

It did. I was surprised myself since I thought the battery would be completely dead (as in, 0 charge and incapable of holding a charge) but I am using right now and it still has about the same battery life as it did before.
