V-Tech Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Among the handful of Google Glass teardowns (and attempts at doing so) out there, this one by Star Simpson and Scott Torborg is one of the most thorough. The pair deconstructed the eyewear down to components so small they fit on a dime, using considerable force to tear through glue and plastic. Peeling back the cover of the battery enclosure revealed a non-replaceable 2.1 Wh (570mAh) single-cell lithium polymer unit. Simpson and Torborg note that while they do not recommend dismantling Glass (it's hard enough to get your hands on one), they didn't encounter major hurdles when they did and even managed to put it back together in working order. Most of you are familiar with what Google Glass looks like by now, but if you want to see all its parts individually, hit the source below. http://www.engadget.com/2013/06/12/google-glass-teardown-battery-capacity/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Growled Member Posted June 12, 2013 Member Share Posted June 12, 2013 That non-replaceable battery is going to suck. I don't know how they would make a replaceable one and put it in there, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phouchg Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Battery tech really needs to evolve. There's some probability it finally is about to evolve: http://http://www.ne...ttery-4x-liion/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
