since the Pinebook Pro is rather target at a power user audience, I bet those people are able to open the case and put by themselves a battery in.

1- use a rather standard battery

2- send Pinebook Pro without battery
3- point a local reseller of such battery
4- or send the battery into another package

Yes. A June update is due in some two weeks.

4 - How does that make it easier? the legal requirement for high-risk goods shipping states 'lithium ion batteries or devices containing lithium ion batteries(...)' ; so shipping a battery from China wouldn't be simple or cheap either.

Yeah I know batteries comes in all sort of power and shape. I'd be thinking about an encased, rectangular shaped and sized that could be live fitted into a slot like a pcmcia card. Perhaps a bit larger for enough reserve, but you get the idea...

However, don't manufacturers generally check each laptop before shipping it?  I don't think that would be possible if the battery were missing.

Handling bare lipo cells can be dangerous for users who don't know what they're doing, so you would need a case where + and - can't be switched.
