Yeah, the batteries are the most puzzling aspect of this. I don't know much about batteries but I'm wondering if maybe, because they are presumably extraordinarily thin, there is a correlating technical limit to how wide/long they can be and still perform reliably. Just a guess.

I'm guessing we'll find out very soon when iFixit tears the thing apart. Then again, this may be just a Proof Of Concept prototype that never ends up seeing production.

I thought that strange too. I imagine that each cell has a minimal thickness that perhaps is thicker than some of the components, structural or otherwise, in the prototype. For instance, could the battery be "broken up" to accommodate internal structures around the trackpad or a heat sink? It would make sense if they are trying to maximize strength and minimize size.

This is being discussed here.
