Just on that note alone so you think down the line it would be possible for bigger batteries to come around?
At present, I don't see a bigger battery coming to the Pinebook Pro any time soon. But, I have no special knowledge of Pine64's plans.

However, their are dozens of third party external battery packs that are intended to either charge, or outright run devices. Some are 5v over USB Type A connector. Newer ones might have USB Type C connector, (and may support multiple voltages, but would likely support 5v at a minimum).

Yes, it might be clumsy to have an external battery pack. Especially if you carry it with you. But, the other side is that you can have more power than what could be installed in a laptop as thin as the Pinebook Pro. Not to mention this keeps the laptop weight down. Plus, the external battery pack may be usable for other devices like a phone or tablet.
