How about having the battery slide side-ways, on and off the back of future visors? There could be a slim battery which fits flush with the visor, and larger batteries which would stick out a little bit. The cradle would have a charging slot for spare batteries. The visor would also have a replaceable button cell battery, like a CR2025, which would save the memory during swapping, or even with a dead battery.

Just an idea

Or how about taking a leaf out of Japanese portable MD players? A flat/slim rectangular Lithium rechargeable battery (some as thin as 1cm), plus an external detachable battery carrier to carry ordinary AA (not AAA) batteries for extended power when required?

Springboard Power Supply :)

Probably not possible, but if Handspring could create a battery pack that worked with the springboard slot, you could get extra life out of a Prism for long road trips.
