Techically bigger internal battery is possible, but in business it is 
not quite clear worthing to do: the requirements might be limited while 
NRE cost is high(tooling+testing+certification etc.). And for now big 
battery means heavier and bigger size, which might also lower the 
attractive of it.

For Yeeloong external battery might look ugly due to the hinge style.
