We've once again come to that inevitable junction in any Surface teardown: take out the heavily-glued battery, or leave it be?

Considering there are no stretch release battery tabs, and we've had our fill of prying, we opt to let the beast slumber for now.

This battery weighs in at 45 Wh (7.57 V x 5940 mAh), exactly the same as last year.

That's expectedly larger than its more mobile sibling, and even a little larger than the most recent iPad.
