There’s also connectors that wouldn’t be there normally, those connectors also have to be large enough to support the current. Then there’s the plastic lined battery well, as well as the plastic battery case. It’s not as simple as throwing plastic around a battery and calling it a day.

It's a tiny percentage of the battery size. > Then there’s the plastic lined battery well, as well as the plastic battery case.

I didn't say you could slap something together in half an hour, I said it would cost close to zero dollars when talking about the per-phone price.
- tekknik 6y ago> Why is that the requirement? The extra layers of plastic to enable removable batteries cost close to zero dollars and don't have to cost more than a millimeter. That very last phrase you said a millimeter. None of this will fit in one millimeter, which was my counter.
- Dylan16807 6y agoThe connector won't affect thickness, it will go at one end of the battery. For the layers of plastic, the battery already has a wrapping, and the phone already has a back. You just have to reinforce the wrapping on the battery. How much thickness do you think that needs? It's definitely not five millimeters.
