IMO that's a smart choice. This cpu isn't made to be a daily driver. It only is in a laptop chasis to make R&D easier. No one will miss the extra 5WH

Some people will put it as as small server somewhere, then this battery is like a backup power for servers but built-in. Framework even sells a small case for this sort of usage. If I had skin in that game, I would do this. For developping end-user software, just ssh in and program away!
IIUC, the chemistry with a typical UPS battery would be much more favorable for constant power than a laptop... with probably-questionable management software to boot

I say this while truly enjoying my F13; nothing against them

The latest firmware update included changes to how the battery management handles long-term constant power. Too soon to say how much it helps, but it at least is a thing they are addressing.
