Can try the no-battery mod.
Every phone has an interchangeable battery
But nah, batteries you can just pop out of phones haven't really been a thing for a while... the phone can't be as compact (or pack as many Ah in the same size), and is more fragile when it isn't a solid unit with the battery stuck in, that's why; it isn't just a cynical anti-feature. It was a very good feature though; I'm sure it persists in some of those expensive ruggedised phones.
Last phone I had with a removable battery, I actually dropped in the dunny! Barely hesitated to pull it out (there was piss in there), popped off the back and heard sizzling, yeesh. Got that battery out a moment later to stop the damage happening, and stripped the phone down (there was
no way rice or whatever would have cut it), dried it out and found some bits of green shmootz on the mobo here and there (dilute piss would've fucked it up nicely pretty quick smart). Cleaned off the shmootz with some CRC, slapped it back together, crossed my fingers and powered it on. Fuck yeah, removable battery - I'd cut the juice in time.
What's the point of the no-battery mod? Stops the battery from getting hammered? (They prefer to have half a charge, and don't like being constantly topped up.)
