Our trusty iSclack works so well on heavily-glued displays that we decide to try it on this glued-down battery.

The iSclack gives us some solid leverage on the battery, but it still takes a lot of isopropyl alcohol—and even more patience—before the adhesive surrenders the battery (beware those display cables!).

If we called the Note9's 15.4 Wh battery "ludicrous," the Note 10+'s 16.56 Wh powerhouse must be "plaid."

This energy bar weighs in at 59.1 g and measures 77.3 mm x 58.4 mm x 5.5 mm. That's 4.4 g heavier and 3 cm³ larger than the Note9's battery.
