@gloopsies battery capacities diminish quite fast. having a power bank that will charge a battery that can barely hold up a 10 Wh capacity is not useful. an easily removable batteries *without screws* might be of help and compliment the powerbank you bought.

things like "for sure" and "believe me" regarding a for-profit capitalist venture like framework's aren't really doing you any favours. you are putting a lot of faith in a corpo that's treating you as a cash cow. this is going nowhere.

@gloopsies power banks aren't standard batteries nor are they better. these 2 simply serve 2 different purposes. most people don't have a powerbank that can power a laptop, cuz they mostly buy a 35W one for their phone or their buds. now they have to invest in a new one and abandon the old one.

>made by just one company

that's a problem with intellectual property. a flaw in framework's licenses.
usb c as a universal port for all io is, like aforementioned, irrelevant to a removable battery

@gloopsies

there's a cost for modularity and accessibility ofc, that's hardware design 101. i am not gonna repeat myself as i have already explained why such batteries are shit design. you are repeating the same shit apple says about "making the phone thinner". at some point there's no point in going thinner, but that's another story for another day. the power bank trick won't work, at least efficiently, as you would need a beefy one with the proper wattage.
