+Making batteries easily replaceable to mitigate these issues is quite easy. 
+All a manufacturer has to do is
+1. Connect the battery with a connector rather than soldering it directly to the board
+2. Secure the battery in a way allowing removal without damaging the battery (as damaged batteries can start a fire)
+3. Construct the phone so that the battery can be accessed easily

 ## Battery Basics
 
+### How does a battery work? 
+Batteries, at their most basic, perform a chemical reaction to generate electricity. 
+What this reaction is, as well as whether it's reversible, depend on the type of battery.
