You still can with an alcatel tracfone. A fingernail in the back cover pops it loose, and the battery is a nearly square one on spring loaded contacts, which the same fingernail can pop it out, a 3.7 volt li-on rated at 850 mah. Rather puny IMO, but its also less than 1/8" thick too. So if I do go shopping tomorrow, I at least know what I am looking for, aka a step in the right direction. I also need to get 2 pair of some sort of call buttons so we can be wearing one pair while the other set is on charge. I might toss in a 36-38" tv too, that visio we've had for several years is exhibiting symptoms of about a coffee cup worth of smallish electrolytic caps all with ESR's above 10 ohms. $15-25 worth of caps, $120 for a tester, and several hours to locate and change all the bad ones. I can almost bring another tv home for that, and have a remote that actually works for 6 months or so. Just long enough to use up the warranty. :( > Here is a write up on how to replace the battery of an iPhone 6 > https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iPhone+6+Battery+Replacement/29363 > Better maybe to let some one else do this for you.
