Seems to me only a small percentage of tablets have replaceable batteries. Making them replaceable probably would either thicken the unit by 25-40% or cause the battery to have a lower capacity (you have to add 1-2mm surrounding walls in a battery bay, and 2-3 mm hard plastic casing walls on the battery, after all). As for battery failure, good companies use the latest high quality lithium batteries that maintain 80%+ capacity for 4-5 years.
