Pulling at some familiar black tabs we are elated to find adhesive pull tabs under the P9's battery.

We can't praise these tabs enough. They are an easy-to-use and inexpensive way to secure the battery in a reversible manner.

And a good thing, too—with those two orange interconnect cables under the battery, prying through thick adhesive easily could have been dangerous for Mr. P9's health.

Huawei lists a couple specs for their battery: A "rated capacity" of 11.08 Wh and a "typical capacity" a bit higher at 11.46 Wh.

That puts the P9 battery ahead of the iPhone 6s Plus's 10.45 Wh and just under the Samsung Galaxy S7's 11.55 Wh battery.
