Is the battery replaceable on the surface pro 7 plus
What kind of connection is it? And how does it connect to the logic board?

The Surface Pro 7+ (1960, 1961) has the battery connection on the back side of the motherboard. Therefore, battery replacement requires removal of the motherboard. Thank Microsoft for a big step backward from the 7 which uses a conventional plug connector.

Hello,
I also have a surface pro 7+ from a business. With regards to battery replacements, i'd assume it's similar to the surface pro 7 it is based on, where you have to remove the display, shields and heatsink to then remove the adhesive held battery. I did notice that the internal layout on the 7+ appears different to the 7, likely based on the fact of 11th gen v 10th gen, however the process to remove should be similar (microsoft tech on here, do you have an answer?)
Pretty much:
- Remove the display with plenty of heat & a small guitar pick
- Disconnect the display & battery
- Remove screws & clips holding heat shields (be careful, remember where the screws go as i'm sure they are all different lengths)
- Remove heatsink (reapply thermal paste before you reassemble)
- Remove the entire motherboard & all major components (speakers, cameras, all cables etc)
- THEN and only then can you squeeze IPA into the gaps & let the adhesive release
- Lift battery out & place new one in
- Reassemble the way you took it out (motherboard, components, cables etc)
Let me know how it goes or if you have any other questions :)

The removal process seems simple enough. Its the type of connection the battery has, it doesn't appear to be a pin type connection.
