> What does this do to people with extra batteries? Do they all have to be charged? Would you have to put them in your phone/laptop to prove it?
What about modern laptops that have multiple discrete batteries (i.e. modern Macs) - I would guess that you could remove 2-3 of the 4-5 packs and still have a "functioning" laptop, albeit with a much shorter uptime.
