However, I wouldn't worry much about battery life in your device. The
average lifetime of a common cell phone is about 18 months. 30 months
for smartphones. About 4 years for laptops. Your "device" will be a
candidate for eWaste long before the battery dies. That's one reason
that Apple embalmed the battery inside their "devices" and made them
almost impossible to replace.



Apple didn't embalm anything. They had a Chinaman do it for 10 cents an
hour.
