[* black] Battery time! We were ''not'' fans of [guide|92534|last year's iPads|stepid=172878|new_window=true], which ditched their adhesive pull tabs. This year, pull tabs are back in style.
[* black] A total of 12 pull tabs help us remove these twin power packs—and they're even U-shaped, which should give fixers a second chance to get a strip out should one tab break.
[* icon_note] You know, maybe we pegged this iPad all wrong. It was kinda hard to get into, but now the pull tabs are coming out [guide|115201|buttery smooth|stepid=221324|new_window=true], and we're feeling pretty good about replacing the battery.
-[* black] Right as we get our hopes up, however, we're met with an ''extra'' adhesive strip running up the length of left battery cell, and we're forced to resort to prying.
-[* black] This iPad's powered by a 7812 mAh battery running at 3.77 V, for 29.45 Wh.
