By definition: this battery is User Replaceable. You do not have to send the whole to a Service Center like the Kindle or Sony. (I have seen those battery packs and they are even more proprietary than the PEZ (and other re-brands). Stocking the battery is a function of the Selling company service and support. Given that the "Jinke V5" is sold by a number of companies, it is a good chance that the battery will be available somewhere.

Now if Robert would only sell about a 100K units a month , other battery pack manufacturers would be tripping over themselves to see that Fry's and others stocked them on he shelves at your local store.
