All they have to do is not permanently glue the battery on. It otherwise would sit in a perfectly flush compartment that doesn’t even need to be changed or would require a different battery.
The only difficult part of replacing the battery in the current model is the fucking adhesive which makes this whole thing that much worse. If anything, it would be slightly cheaper to produce since they wouldn’t need to buy glue.
Unfortunately you are mistaken. They can‘t just place it in there loosely. It needs to be mounted in some way. Right now, repair guides glue the replacement battery back into place as well so it‘s actually not something you should skip. The new mounting system can very well result in a smaller battery size.
It sits perfectly flush in its compartment and then has a plate pressing against the back when closed back up. It really doesn’t need the adhesive. If you ever had to send it to Nintendo, tho, it not having the glue would be a clear indicator you opened it up and voided the warranty.
That’s a cute idea but also naive. You voided the warranty the moment you separate the case to open that thing anyway. It doesn‘t even matter if it‘s glued or not and yes, Nintendo can tell. People do not glue it back together to trick Nintendo but to actually keep the thing in place. It will absolutely need to be mounted.
