Surface Book 2 Battery Replacement
My dad used to work for microsoft and I got handed down a surface book 2. I used it quite a few years back and it worked perfectly, however I'm just recently booting it up for the first time in a while. I noticed that after running powercfg /batteryreport and looking at the battery report, the main battery under the keyboard is at 60% capacity, while the tablet battery is basically dead, 9% iirc. I'm fine with getting hands on and replacing the battery under the keyboard, but the tablet battery I heard risks cracking the screen when opening it. I don't plan on ever using the tablet mode really, but my question is, does the laptop only use the main battery assuming I use it in regular mode? My concern is that I spend some money replacing the main battery, yet I'm still not getting optimal performance or battery life because even though I don't use it in tablet mode they somehow work together, and then I risk the repair for the tablet battery and cracking the lcd. By that point I will be 200+ dollars into the repair, and then perhaps it doesn't become useful to keep repairing it. I really just need a working laptop for when I go off to college.
