| [* black] What next, battery or boards? You can disconnect the smaller battery right away, but the bigger one is … a problem. | |
| - | [* black] |
| + | [* black] Only the smaller battery is glued in place, but the bigger one's connector is sandwiched under the motherboard. Which also happens to be secured with tri-point screws. Yuck. In typical Microsoft fashion, it seems like the only way to kill power is to remove the board completely. Making any repair just a short circuit waiting to happen. |
| [* 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] 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. |
