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...

While I like the idea of a removable battery so we can fit a bigger one, the first link of 222Wh is maybe a bit overkill Furthermore, this cell won't fit in the case. The other cells are way too small, or are really bare cells which you can't expect the buyer to fit themselves. 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. Given the dimensions of the Pinebook Pro, it is physically too thin to provide a swappable battery
