Hi, Tom. I'd like to see that myself. Even if we had to open a compartment
after taking the thing out of the case, I'd go for that. Now that the
pacmate is out with their detachable braille display, it will be
interesting to see how slowly or quickly their battery drains. One person I
talked to who tried the packmate for a few days thought they had a much
slower battery drain.
I guess their initial attempt at removable batteries didn't work too well
since they dropped it for the new unit. That was the one thing that
impressed me when I first heard about the packmate and disappointed me when
the new one was talked about.

Hi,
I hope that PDI gives serious consideration to the idea of user-replaceable
battery packs.
