Would that really help? I remember that each brand had their own custom battery sizes, and it would only sell the remaining stock once the phone was no longer on the store shelf. I only know Nokia had some standard form factor for batteries.

Batteries were phone specific but it wasn't a big problem to find them. I bought several for my Note 3 and it allowed me to use the phone for a long time.
