I have considered the removable battery aspect. I don't think I am going to mess with it in this version but I may down the road. If this was someone's primary device it would be pretty much required.
If you do get around to removing your inductors, let us know if there is any kind of...
Yep, I am ok with that. This is not going to be for the full day, or even a long evening. I have other devices that will give me a week of run time. This is the one that fits in a pocket when I take the dog for a walk. I got my first click with the 370mah battery last night.

Alright, do I get some kind of gold star for reading through the entire thread?
The last few pages, there have been several requests for laying it all out ect. Guys, pipes has really done an excellent job making this as easy as possible. If the world conducted business like Pipes it would be...
