All batteries are replaceable. Some take a bit more effort and some specialized equipment, though.

Yeah but that seems like a pain, of course I had a cell back to analog days and am probably is. Used to sell so many batteries for cells in my Radio Shack days, and many were people wanting a second one for a backup when they were in the bush. Even remember $80 for a lithium startac battery heh, like 20ish years ago.

A lot of "replaceable" things are still considered so even if you can't just pop it out and stick a new one in yourself with zero effort.

True, they should have better campaigns to showcase those repairs, also manufacture support for it. Unless they do and I missed it, which is very possible. Just seems they don't want you to change batteries since they make it a hassle.
