Honestly, how is this any different (except it costs more and is non-portable) than having 2 battery cases. Just recharge one while you are using the other. I don’t get it. Solving a problem that doesn’t exist.
Lmao the cost makes it DOA. They hope to sell the patent.

Someone is going to make a significantly cheaper version of this. The idea is brilliant, but the application is pretty pretentious
I was shown that this will come on the iPhone 7!
(Yes I’m talking about that fan made ad)
We need this technology for E‑cars
2005: buying a secondary removeable battery.

They should do a different model of this for rentals at airport and train stations
So I have to come home for something meant to be on the go. Also, why waste the money on motors and the precision guides for it when I can do it myself. Just make a battery bank docking station.
$450 lol
Removable/swappable batteries. The future of the past is here.
“Never have to plug in and charge your phone again” damn, if only we hadn’t soldered that issue years ago already 🥲
Damn that is cool

It’s noticeable that many comments here haven’t been in logistics or postal service, battery degradation and slow charging is a major problem in a service which requires phone all day long. Having a swappable battery would solve a lot of frustration and lack of productivity.
Flop technology
Most unsustainable business plan ever 😂
This is actually very stupid
Thats hilarious.. lets add more ewaste to this world.. CES this year has been quite a lot just ewaste boxes and gimmicky tech that intrudes our already lacking privacy.
If the case fast charges my phone, sure
Relax. It’s only money. 😅
How to messed up your phone battery by constantly charging them!
I just keep a $30 powerbank charged with me.
