I have a framework 13. Last week I noticed my battery had gone spicy pillow. Screwed it open, removed the battery and ordered a new one. A few days later I got the new battery, put it in and screwed everything back together. Took me less than 30 minutes in total, got original parts and not some sketchy Amazon crap, was less complicated than repairing my desktop PC. This is how you do repairable tech.
I have my fw13 plugged in almost all the time. So I set the battery max charge to 60%.
If I really need more juice, I can set it back to 100, but I basically never need that.
