there’s plenty investment in batteries. it’s the basic physics and decades of bad battery usage habits that prevented better battery to come to the market. good old lead-acid battery can be improved 10x but it’s so low tech and no self respecting tech gadget owner wants to use it.

Wrong! It’s because of lack of investment on battery tech; something that is very convenient for mobile companies. As they want us to throw our 1 year old device because the battery is going byebye, and buy their new device. And don’t ask about the price on the spare battery!!
