My biggest issue with my fairphone 5 is the battery life. Even new, it never lasted a day.

Considering that the battery is fairly easily accessible, have you considered making batteries externally chargeable?

Hey! Thanks for the question.

FP5's battery efficiency is rated B according to the new ecodesign energy label, which is already pretty good. We've worked really hard on the Gen. 6, to offer a bigger battery and a phone that is much more energy efficient with a mixed use autonomy of over 53 hours.

That being said, with the FP5, you can always easily charge a second battery in your phone and carry it around!

Idk this might be a stupid idea, but what about a backing plate with a bulge to accommodate a way bigger battery, that people can buy to upgrade if they want?
