Hi,
I have an old Braille Lite 40. A few years ago I had it modified so
that it now has a replaceable battery and also uses metal hidride
rather than nicads. I had some other work done at the same time, so I
can't say for sure what the cost was, but I think my total bill was
under $300 for everything, including cleaning.

The problem comes, not so much in the design of such a product with
such a replaceable battery, but the modification of an existing
product to make its battery user-replaceable. This may very well,
if it ever came to pass, cause an increase in the price of the BN.
One other point to keep in mind is that most of us have had to send
our BN's away for at least a week or two, possibly twice, in
order to have the hardware modified, and most users I know would be
very hesitant to part with their units again unless the need were dire.

I don't believe, albeit I am not sure what it all entails, that redesigning
the BrailleNote so as to allow people to install a battery(ies) would
necessary increase the cost by a thousand dollars or even more. There is a
third party note taker that has this functionality and it does not even cost
up to $6,000. It can be done if there is the will!
Sincerely,
Olusegun
