Of course they have built in shielding. Even internal batteries do as well. I don't think removable batteries have a substantial amount of additional shielding and or structural support that normal internal batteries since from what I can tell, they are more or less the same in stiffness when working with them.

They're not even close in terms of stiffness. I'd demonstrate with a nexus 7 battery, but I don't want to burn my house down.

What kind of external batteries are we talking here?
 
I'm thinking about the swappable ones in camcorders and cameras.
 
If we're talking things like AA and AAA batteries that's a whole other story.

Li-ion phone batteries.

  Li-ion phone batteries.

Yeah I don't remember them being much stiffer than the permanents. Slightly but probably not enough to safeguard it any better.
 
Maybe I just need to work with newer devices.

  Wait I thought there were phones with removable backs and batteries that are waterproof, or at the very least water resistant since as long as the back cover has a gasket it's all good (it's a really ghetto method since that's a really easy seal to break).
 
Eh I'm just looking at the battery only since if that happens to either device the end result is the same; $700 ashes and a burnt phone if we're looking at a flagship. The status of the frame and back cover might vary between the two but the phone is more or less still toast because the main assembly was bent.

Talking about liions of course and I'm mostly thinking about the swappable camera/camcorder batteries.

I see why people still want removable batteries; it's a preference that's descended from cameras and camcorders since those devices usually had poor battery life so it was always advised to have multiple batteries for those (since external battery packs didn't exist then).
 
I'm pretty sure most of the removable battery crowd has lived in those days (aka the last decade) or are just Apple haters who hate every decision Apple makes (or just hear people saying a removable battery is good so they repeat it without thinking).

 
I'm not sure. If there is, I probably missed that. In any case, touting a phone with exposed contacts "waterproof" is so not safe for me.
 
Maybe because of that past era because of that battery memory issue.

Do a livestream pls. For science of course.

Too bad I won't be able to read any retaliation if he posts any.

Quick, everyone play this in the background before watching the gif!!!
 

 
Keep watching/listening until they are both in sync.

I bought a LG V20 today. Came with free 10" tablet. Can confirm if you drop it battery will probably pop out. I don't drop my phones so I'm ok with it.

Welp.... I guess I'm a sociopath then.

I don't usually show most of this stuff because I actively try to act like a normal member of society but 8/9 of the points applies to me. (#1 I can't judge myself)

and TBH, if their 4% population statistic is correct, then I'm not that surprised...

Reads like a quiz in Cosmo. "If you answered Yes to at least 6 of these statements, your husband may be a sociopath. Our advice? Run!

Need advice on how? Read next month's exciting issue!"

Hopefully the book it's based on is more science-driven.

P.S. I used to be one of the main posters in this thread years ago. I wasn't as much of a pariah back then. :evil:  

In all fairness, frequent =/= main
Main is generally a qualitative term, so I'd think that would require at least a vote from our electorate.

Don't get this thread too heated guys. 

The mods be watching. Let's not get this thread locked. 

But but... Danger's our middle name.

Wouldn't be the first time, though the last time we got locked we got heated in a very...different way.

?

Here, I'll still give you a hug!

Gif is awesome. More than a thumbs up deserved.

This tray thing will reduce the sodium in your schiitty instant ramen by 50% if you use half the seasoning.
Genius.
