We're finally ready to tackle that hefty battery, but first let's peep those specs.

At 34.2 Wh, the Pixel C handily beats the 27.9 Wh 9.7" iPad Pro, but comes in behind the Surface Pro 4's 38.2 Wh powerhouse.

After some serious heating, we start scraping along with a plastic card.

Even at the shallowest of angles, we start to curl that battery like some pencil shavings. This is some pretty tough adhesive.

We decided tomorrow would be a better day for a Li-Ion battery explosion, and stopped here.
