Its unclear how I have a brand new microsoft surface pro Model 1706 charger and my surface pro 9 is still saying its slow charging.

I tried it on my colleagues PC which is also a surface pro 9 and does the same thing. Is it possible this charger is defective out of the box? It says 15V @ 4AMP at 60W. Based on the specs, this is correct.

    I just tried another charger that's the same model number and it worked.

    Sounds defective. Return it for a refund and repurchase (verify it is a genuine Microsoft Surface branded power supply).
