There is a surprising amount of free space in this phone, I have other mods in the works. Especially if I can find a replacement battery. It’s a surface Duo 2.

    That space may be there for safety reasons. Aging or mishandled lithium-cobalt batteries tend to swell. Giving them space to swell into reduces the chance of a fire or an explosion.

    If you’re going to cram a larger battery into that space, be very careful of what kind you use, or you may find your phone literally burning a hole in your pocket.

      I’ve had plenty of swollen batteries, the double sided tape I’m using would give way pretty easily to that luckily.
