First iPad Teardown Reveals Two Battery Cells

As always, iFixit has started taking apart a new Apple product and of course, it’s the iPad turn today. You can see all the photo gallery here (you may have an heart attack) but what’s most interesting is what they noticed about the battery:

“Confirming our suspicions from yesterday, the battery integrates two separate 3.75V lithium polymer cells wired in parallel for such ample battery life.”

Two lithium cells, for more than 10 hours of battery life. Great job, Apple.
