People here seem to disagree but batteries don't last nearly as long as the devices I have or as long as advertised.

I see them degrade within a year on most of my phones. Right now I can easily buy a new one and just toss it in but that seems to be ending for a ridiculous reason.

I had a perfectly good laptop that had a bad battery. It worked well for a few years but it wasn't keep a charge anymore. One new battery later and the laptop was perfectly fine for a few more years. But without that ability people are either going to pay more than they should to replace it or they'll be forced to buy a new one.
I'm quite unhappy with how locked down everything is getting.

It's not that big a deal on phones. Batteries Plus and many other stores replace them on most phones for basically the cost of the battery -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Twelfth Astronaut Sep 5, 07:19 2
- If they didn't lock it in I could do it myself and I wouldn't have to go to a store. - Krusty Sep 5, 07:23
