A Look Back at the Removable Battery Design of the Sony PSP - Technology on Aviaclip

This image highlights the design of the original Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP), which featured a user-removable battery pack. The post contrasts this older hardware design with modern consumer electronics, noting that the ability to easily swap out a depleted battery for a spare has largely disappeared from contemporary devices. By showcasing the 3.6v 1800mAh battery pack, the content serves as a commentary on the evolution of portable technology and the shift away from user-serviceable components in favor of integrated, non-removable battery designs in modern smartphones and handheld gaming consoles.

You need shock-proof, water-proof, idiot-proof design to cover your customers ability. If we'd have removable battery, kids would chew on it.

Can't have a forever on device if the battery or power is so easy to remove. How would they listen in and track you to keep you incentivized to maintain the power?

"Somehow" No, it is done on purpose to sell more devices. Fuck the customer and fuck the planet. We need to generate more wealth for the shareholders.
