I've noticed this as well and the same holds true for a Battery. But with batteries, it doesn't matter if it is the original one you get with your suit or new ones that you assemble, you can't drop them like you would other items. You can get rid of them as you described in your third paragraph. Getting rid of things like that has caused me problems at times, like when I accidently drop a new device on a stack of rare material or my Camera (cameras are soooo hard to replace in explore mode).
