In one presentation, hw said that they made a trade in the replaceable batteries; manageable, convenient size for a shorter usage time. In other words, the mPower's battery is larger so lasts longer, but people would not want to carry around such a huge battery. I also suspect that the size of the Apex prevents having a larger battery.
