    Unrouteable address
2. In battery.html it says:
   As the manufacturers change the shapes of their batteries every few
   months, you might have problems to find a new battery for your laptop
   in a few years from now. This is somewhat of a concern only if you
   anticipate using the same laptop several years from now. If in doubt,
   buy a spare battery now - before it's out of stock.

However, this is might be bad advice, especially for Li-ion batteries.
As they degrade, in use or not, so a note should be added.
