It would be nice, but the li-ion technology isn't there yet, and I don't believe there is another battery type currently available that can provide the necessary current these devices need in the same small form factor. There are some proprietary lithium-based batteries that do allow charging in freezing temperatures, but I don't believe they're being manufactured in any widespread capacity. If a new type of battery pack that could handle the cold temps became available, I'd definitely be interested. The Video Doorbell 2 (now discontinued I believe) and the Video Doorbell 3 do have swappable battery packs.

Besides needing a better cold friendly battery, I can't understand why they didn't put the usb charging port on the bottom, instead of the back. It's a pain in the butt to have to remove it every time to charge and I guarantee I will eventually drop and lose one of the security screws in the future.
