	[* black] What next, battery or boards? You can disconnect the smaller battery right away, but the bigger one is … a problem.
	[* black] Both are glued in place, but the bigger one also has a connector that's sandwiched under the main board. Which also happens to be secured with tri-point screws. Yuck.
	[* black] As is often the case with Microsoft devices, it looks like the only way to kill power is to remove the motherboard. The motherboard, which we really don't want to touch while it's still powered. Wunderbar.
	[* black] Half the phone comes along for the ride. There's a lot of stuff latched onto this board (including a soldered charge port, unfortunately).
-	[* black] ''"This component cannot be easily replaced by user"'' ([https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/facebook/000/840/283/350.png\|so you're telling me there's a chance!\|new_window=true])
-	[* black] As with ~~all~~ the ~~foldables~~ we~~'ve come across so far, the Surface Duo has...duo batteries.~~ The larger of the two clocks in at 10.37 Wh and ~~2707 mAh, while~~ the smaller one ~~hits~~ 2.89 Wh ~~and 755 mAh~~. That's good for a total of 13.26 Wh and 3462 mAh.
-	[* ~~black~~] Compared to other foldables we've torn down, this ~~hits the Goldilocks formula~~—it's not quite [guide\|122600\|Galaxy Fold\|new_window=true] or [guide\|132809\|Huawei Mate Xs\|new_window=true] status (ringing at 16.87 Wh and 17.32 Wh, respectively), but it's better than the [guide\|131002\|Galaxy Z Flip\|new_window=true]'s 12.74 Wh and the [guide\|130414\|Moto Razr\|new_window=true]'s 9.7 Wh.
+	[* black] The first line of text on the battery reads: ''"This component cannot be easily replaced by user"'' ([https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/facebook/000/840/283/350.png\|so you're telling us there's a chance!\|new_window=true])
+	[* black] The rest of the text issues some relevant warnings, and provides us with the details we came for: The larger of the two batteries clocks in at 10.37 Wh, and the smaller one at 2.89 Wh. That's good for a total of 13.26 Wh and 3462 mAh.
+	[* icon_note] Compared to other foldables we've torn down, this is middle ground—it's not quite [guide\|122600\|Galaxy Fold\|new_window=true] or [guide\|132809\|Huawei Mate Xs\|new_window=true] status (ringing at 16.87 Wh and 17.32 Wh, respectively), but it's better than both smaller foldables: the [guide\|131002\|Galaxy Z Flip\|new_window=true]'s 12.74 Wh and the [guide\|130414\|Moto Razr\|new_window=true]'s 9.7 Wh.
