I want one of these... but able to swap out the battery. Basically I want a high quality USB box. Preferably with a decent charging circuit or battery level indicator. Anything like that out there?

While it's not 26650 compatible and assuming that you're not talking about a li-ion/NiMH charger that doubles as a USB power bank, I bought this one:

For $32 and change, it came with four Sanyo UR18650FM cells and works quite well. Mine charges up an Apple 2.1A iPhone 6s and an iPad 2/3 on either of its 1A or 2.1A ports.

Swapping cells takes a little time and it's not something that you're going to open up and drop in new ones in 2 minutes, but it is a quality charger that's not much bigger than a deck of cards.

With today's 3500mAh cells, that's a capacity of 14Ah, so 7Ah useable at a 50% DOD.
