Part of the problem with the battery tray is that they are made of
unobtanium.... very difficult to find, it seems, and then, you have
that minor annoyance of having to swap cells that you alluded to. I've
got a tray, but I would rather put up with my short-life battery pack
than move up to living cells in the tray.... but maybe that's just me?
