but replacing the battery doesn’t mean you get to have a tablet with replaceable batteries

It proves you already had a tablet with replaceable batteries…

Replaceable vs “easily replaceable”

I guess we could use the term “swappable” here as a distinction.

I’ll accept that compromise. Now I’m more curious if the batteries are hot swappable though. It’d probably cause some chaos with the battery indicator but just making me think…

Wouldn’t the battery indicator already be fucked because of this? Do those cells match what it came with?

Actually capacity exceeds the original spec. Battery indicator seems accurate though.

Ig, but you can expect a Li-ion to last about 2-3 years, it’s not that much of a chore to open it up every 3 years, especially after the first time

Maybe op really likes to carry spare batteries instead of, you know, a power pack?

why should you open it up again, instead of just charging/replacing the repalceabke batteries

Because they’re ugly, bulky and inconvenient as fuck.
