-	[* 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~~, 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] Battery time! We were ''not'' fans of [guide\|92534\|last year's iPads\|stepid=172878\|new_window=true], which ditched the relatively repair-friendly, iPhone-style stretch-release adhesive pull tabs of yesteryear—and replaced it with what was effectively superglue to secure the battery.
+	[* black] This year, pull tabs are back in style—twelve of them, and they're even U-shaped, which should give fixers a second chance to get a strip out should one of them break. Neat!
+	[* icon_note] Maybe we pegged this iPad all wrong. It was painful to open, but these adhesive strips pull out [guide\|115201\|buttery smooth\|stepid=221324\|new_window=true]—
+	[* black] Only, that's not enough to dislodge this battery. With all the tabs pulled, there's ''another'' patch of supergoop running all down the left side. ''Sigh.'' Time to break out the pry tools.
	[* black] This iPad's powered by a 7812 mAh battery running at 3.77 V, for 29.45 Wh—a slight downgrade from the 30.8 Wh pack in the [guide\|92534\|10.5" iPad Pro\|stepid=172878\|new_window=true], and a lot smaller than the most recent [guide\|113786\|Microsoft Surface Pro's\|stepid=217552\|new_window=true] 45 Wh battery.
