Information Handling System Including Battery Assembly Having Multiple Separable Subassemblies

A method of manufacturing and shipping a battery powered device comprising:

• manufacturing a battery powered device, the battery powered device including:
• electrical circuitry which requires power to operate;
• and
• a housing in which the electrical circuitry is situated, the housing including a battery bay for receiving a battery assembly therein, the battery assembly including:
• a first battery subassembly including a subassembly to subassembly electrical connector and a device power connector for supplying power to the battery powered device, the first battery subassembly including a subassembly to subassembly mechanical connector;
• and
• a second battery subassembly including a subassembly to subassembly electrical connector for electrically connecting to the subassembly to subassembly electrical connector of the first battery subassembly, the second battery subassembly including a subassembly to subassembly mechanical connector for mechanically connecting to the subassembly to subassembly mechanical connector of the first battery subassembly;
• and
• shipping the first and second subassemblies packaged separately in a manner satisfying a regulatory threshold sufficient to avoid increased shipping costs applied when the subassemblies are shipped connected, the regulatory threshold including a battery characteristic such as one of a watt hour rating of the battery and a weight of a chemical element of the battery.
