It's actually just a registry flag for the software. For a normal consumer though? That's rough. As said below, someone loses one of the cds or dvds... or the USB drive gets lost/overwritten etc.

One backup in one location is not enough. If it was an online backup, perhaps. And I guess you could be smart and just make an iso out of the dvd and save, but it's one more step that just lends itself to not being done by a consumer.

I honestly think there should be some way for the manufacturers to provide the images as a value add in either a support contract or as a one time support charge.

In order to charge a battery, the charger needs to provide higher voltage to put in current - otherwise, no charging occurs. Even with a "separate" loop, you'll have a higher potential (voltage) at the terminals when charging/plugged in; ergo a higher voltage provided to the phone even if the battery is degraded. This higher voltage will be slightly higher than the peak nominal voltage of a "fresh" battery, so it should trigger higher performance if the phone is just looking at a simple voltage state.
