The law says, "Designing portable batteries in appliances in such a way that consumers can themselves easily remove and replace them;"

Key part being "in appliances".

They know with whom they are dealing

I guess that as long as they don’t slip on their messaging they can claim that the battery is part of the appliance. It just has another internal battery so you don’t loose power when switching your replaceable battery. As long as they don’t make it ridiculously heavy and has a flush connection to the phone I think they could get away with it.
