Replaceable batteries are one thing, but truly hot swappable batteries like you're asking for will absolutely effect the waterproofing and add a lot of weight/size. Is there a reason you can't just bring a battery pack in your rucksack? They make magnetic ones you can slap on the back and be on your way.

Continuing to take photos with a battery pack hanging off a device is no where near as simple as popping in a fresh 100% battery and coninuing as normal.

These don't dangle or impede your use:

just to note, wireless charging is very inefficient. From the page you linked:

"Due to a 30% to 45% energy loss in battery cells and conversion circuitry, a fully charged 5,000 mAh power bank typically offers an estimated 2,750 to 3,500mAh to power devices"

Then use the supplied USB-C to USB-C cable for more efficient charging, while using the magnets to stick it to the back of your phone.

Is that ... just a wall wart with a screen on it? Why is that relevant?

EDIT: Wait no it's a carousel of completely unrelated products because the page redirected (without my input) to https://ankernordics.com/.

Hmmm... I'm not sure what you're seeing to be honest. The link should be to a slim 5000mah magsafe battery that attaches to the back of iPhones.

The Anker Nano Power Bank (5K, MagGo, Slim). No screen, charges via USBC.

Seems like this product, on the Anker Nordic page so that it works for us who for whatever reason are booted from the main Anker website: https://www.ankernordics.com/products/a1665-anker-nano-power...

Yeah, that would work. The first party Apple MagSafe power bank is also a decent alternative.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I would still prefer replaceable batteries back though, and you really dont need to convince me otherwise!
