It probably will. Watch Gamers Nexus’ video, it has a short clip that shows the battery, and it looks like it’s held in a receptacle like removable phone batteries. Valve have already said that you’d be able to disassemble the controller with a screwdriver, but no word yet on replacement parts.

Looks like you’ll have to remove the entire bottom shell. From GN’s video:
A disassembled Steam Controller with its bottom shell removed and its insides visible.

You can also not whine when people mention it. FYI.
Also, if they said “googles” or “ddgs” I doubt you would have complained. They don’t use either of those presumably.
