    I used to do this. I thought it was awesome but I was literally the only person I ever knew who did this. It was not a popular thing to do.

      Zero lemon had them so cheap that I had 4 extra batteries (they also had the extended batteries that would last forever but the cases were janky). I would keep one at work, one by the door to take with me and two at home if you include the one in my phone that I would swap out. I rarely charged my phone at all, just the batteries. I loved it.

      Most people did not do this nor needed to since the very beginning of cell phones

      We literally do not need replaceable batteries in 2023

        Maybe, but you have to admit that battery live used to be longer (specially pre-smartphones), if your phone could comfortably last a couple of days there was less need to have portable power.

        I fondly remember the convenience of having a flat, replaceable battery in my pocket even in the early Android days, and I’ve missed it ever since it went away.
