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.
