Likely expensive AF once you get all the needed accessories. I wonder if they have a minimal onboard battery, or allow hibernating so you can swap batteries and keep going.
I may be weird, but I would see not having an internal battery kind of as a feature. After experiencing years of lithium batteries failing in electronic devices that aren't designed for battery replacement.
It doesn't have to be lithium, nor non-replaceable. I just meant something to hold the memory contents and processor in a suspend mode long enough to allow battery replacement. Could be a capacitor, or something else that gets the job done. That's why I alternatively listed allowing hibernation (save memory to storage and power off) as an alternative option. The goal was to be able to resume where you left off after swapping batteries.
