If it's similar to the iLiad, then the batteries are soldered to a circuit board.

That being said, why not use a battery like mobile phones with fixed connectors? Then when needed I could carry 1 or 2 spares and use them when away from a PC for a longer period of time. It is sad that the same mistake is being made by mobile phones, like iPhone (one of the main complaints).
I definitely agree here. I don't know why they didn't make it a replaceable battery. That's one of my biggest complaints.
