The only other thing between us and the battery is this anaconda of a cable ("snakes on a phone," anyone?)

While fiddly, we prefer these easy-to-access interconnect cables over cables hidden under the battery ripe for accidentally prying through.

This battery comes out with familiar rip-and-pull tabs—or is it pull-and-rip? Whatever it is, it's orange, and it has instructions on it—better than nothing, though.

The 4500 mAh cell is rated at 3.85 V, and a whopping 17.32 Wh of total power. That's a bit more than the 16.04 Wh from the Mate 20 X Pro or the P30 Pro. The iPhone 11 Pro Max trails behind at 15.04 Wh.
