Do cellphones with li-ion batteries really work that way nowadays? My understanding is that the consortium that runs lithium-ion battery tech prohibits user-replaceable batteries (their excuse is explosion if the charging circuit and battery become somehow mismatched, though I don't see why you can't just decree that they're always packaged together).
