I disagree. Until relatively recently all battery powered devices had removable batteries, which is why we have standard battery sizes in the first place. Welded and sealed proprietary battery packs are a backward step.
- ben-schaaf 8y agoThe keyword here is "cell", not pack. I have never seen individual cells being removable. Imagine the increased complexity/cost and decreased reliability if each of the 6 cells in a standard car batter was individually replaceable.
- perilunar 8y ago> I have never seen individual cells being removable Sure you have. Any device with removable single-cell 'batteries' has removable cells. > Imagine the increased complexity/cost and decreased reliability if each of the 6 cells in a standard car batter was individually replaceable. Car batteries are already removable and replaceable, and come in standard sizes, which is precisely the point.
