Agreed, it's spare parts. But buying a spare battery for your car will 
hardly set you back for 14% of the total cost of a new car.

It seems I may have phrased my question awkwardly, so let's try to 
rephrase it:

Would you ever buy a car -- or even a mobile phone -- where the spare/
replacement battery cost 14% of the entire car/phone retail price? Say 
you got the cheapest Clio or Fiesta for just under 10.000€, but would 
have to pay over 1400€ for a replacement battery when the old one died? 
Now, that would be an extremely peculiar business model in my view ;)
