I would worry the resources of the US government may extend to spare batteries

  Forcing you to unlock a laptop or phone that doesnt have a battery would fall under a different legal precedent.

    A forensic search would require reasonable suspicion. I'm not aware of any legal weight attached to batteries - what's the legal precedent you're thinking of?

      Having a third party install anything new (i.e. battery) to the device that wasn't present when it was confiscated would put into question the integrity of anything found on the device.

        Maybe just plug it...
