Traveler It was probably cheaper to give you a new tablet than the effort it would take to peel it apart and replace the battery. Also accounting for how likely the tech would be to shatter the screen at the same time. I'm sure the old tablet will either just be recycled as scrap or shipped to a depot and taken apart by someone with the right training and tools to use for parts or to refurbish and use as a warranty replacement for someone else. Anyway good for Microsoft for taking care of that. A swelling lithium ion battery is at risk of rupturing and when the chemicals inside are exposed to air, they ignite.
