	[* black] To our great surprise, the Surface Go has an immediately disconnectable battery!
	[* icon_note] Disconnecting the battery before repairing internals is a great way to avoid damage.
-	[* icon_note] Has Microsoft been listening to us?
-	[* black] Removing the battery is a different story, there's nothing immediate or easy about it. There are two giant pads of adhesive that are tough to fight through even with our adhesive remover and plastic cards.
-	[* icon_note] Standard bit: Batteries are consumable and need to be removed before recycling.
-	[* black] Battery specs and comparison.
+	[* icon_note] Is this Surface headed in a more repair-friendly direction?
+	[* black] Maybe not—removing the battery is just like [guide\|26595\|old times\|stepid=66228\|new_window=true]—there's nothing immediate or easy about it.
+	[* black] The battery is trapped by two giant pads of adhesive that even our [product\|IF145-400-4\|adhesive remover\|new_window=true] and [product\|IF145-101-1\|plastic cards\|new_window=true] struggle to fight through.
+	[* icon_note] The consequences of this mess of adhesive are two-fold: it keeps consumers from easily extending the life of their Surface with a replacement battery, and increases costs for recyclers, who have to remove the battery before recycling the device.
+	[* black] The Surface Go's battery is a lot smaller than any [guide\|12842\|of\|stepid=44083\|new_window=true] [guide\|18604\|its\|stepid=53118\|new_window=true] [guide\|26595\|pro\|stepid=66227\|new_window=true]-[guide\|51568\|level\|stepid=112665\|new_window=true] [guide\|92362\|predecessors\|stepid=173122\|new_window=true], at 26.12 Wh (7.66V x 3411mAh), but that's to be expected for a smaller, lower powered device.
