The battery is a bit underpowered. Will there (or can there) be a higher battery capacity available in the near future to upgrade to? e.g. will a higher capacity battery fit in that slot or that is not possible?

Maybe just wait for a 15" framework?

You know, with those modular user ports and Frameworks stated willingness to allow 3rd party designs, it might be neat to create a huge battery that connects via one of those ports, and simply makes the Framework laptop 1/4" thicker… but is a HUGE battery. I’d also like a larger battery, but I DO like that we can turn the battery completely OFF if using power brick - that will really help with length of life for those of us who are always plugged into the wall.

I’d like the battery to be internal, if possible.

I’d be willing to trade off overall laptop thickness for some more battery power. Maybe Framework could have a thicker bottom metal plate with a bigger battery?

I am also interested in more battery power. While I loved the Thinkpad battery hotswap, I practically never used it. Yet, even in 2015 we had 90Wh batteries, so I’d love to see a stronger battery for the Framework in future! Happy to trade for a bigger frame, more weight etc.
