    If the manufacturer wants to force you to upgrade they still can… they can stop making the battery that works with your phone model (and notch them to make sure they can’t fit).

    Back in the day there were some manufacturers that made batteries that worked with several of their models, Nokia was one of them, but not all of them did.

    Even Nokia had a deprecation cycle for battery models and when that happened you were stuck buying crappy Chinese copies.
