You talking to me?
Anyway, my company makes the NASA ACES (Advanced Crew Escape Suit) that the
astronauts wear on Launch and Re-entry.
Suffice it to say: we had to make the batteries easily accessible, but also
easy to fix in place permanently.
I get the impression they might be replacing them with something like what
you are talking about as soon as they get to Kennedy...
Just a guess... I wondered why these two stipulations existed until I just
read Jim's message.
(Now the NSA is going to show up at both of our houses, for somehow
violating our clearances... ;-)

Nasa has had the technologie and has had batteries running for decades...the
industry wouldn't allow it..they are made to go bad so they can sell more.
I used to work at NASA Glenn where they did lifetime testing on batteries. I
worked on the data collectors and control room equipment there and had to
calibrate the things. They would have a FIT if any of the equipment went
down as it ruined their test and they had to start all over.
Same concept with gasoline powered engines in cars.

Great. Now all someone has to do is invent a super-battery that can power a
laptop for 15 hours so I don't have to have a 400 pound carry-on bag loaded
up with laptop batteries. I hate battery technology, which seems to still
be stuck in 1912.
