-[* black] Only the smaller battery is glued in place, but the bigger one's sandwiched under the motherboard (also secured with tri-point screws. Yuck).
- [* icon_reminder] 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] Let's talk about battery replacement. Obstacle 1: glue. Lots. Obstacle 2: Tri-point screws. Yuck. Obstacle 3: One battery's connector is pinned underneath the motherboard.
+ [* icon_reminder] As is often the case with Microsoft devices, 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] It really doesn't seem like Microsoft had any thought of battery replacement in mind here. $1400 is a lot to shell out for any device, let alone one with a built-in death clock.
[* black] 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.
- [* black] Both are labeled ''"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] Both are quite fittingly labeled, ''"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])
[* icon_note] That's not quite [guide|122600|Galaxy Fold|new_window=true] or [guide|132809|Huawei Mate Xs|new_window=true] status (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.
