The problem with Li-Ion batteries is they start dying (slowly) immediately after they're manufactured. A 10 year old battery, never used, will probably not work, period.
We'll see how "replaceable" these batteries are, over time. will battery manufacturer make small run of the specialized form factors? I'm not optimistic...
(My BeBook One (6") uses a Nokia cell phone battery. Sounds good, but....Nokia changed the input terminals with later phones. The new ones won't fit...even though the rest of the battery is the same form factor. Will there be batches of old connector bateries 10 years from now? That's why I wanted everything I won to use AA or AAA form factor batteries - and use ENELOOP rechargables. But no company ever built an e-ink e-reader with AA or AAA battery used. The JetBook was not E-Ink....)
