The approach they are taking here is great. The type-C port is down inside the device as part of the battery so should be almost always protected from crap getting in there. So if the charging port fails / gets bent / gunked full of paint / dirt somehow (which seems unlikely anyway), you just buy a new battery (which you would likely need to do anyway eventually). I just hope nobody puts the port on the tool itself, since that could easily get gunked up and be a point of failure.. Good idea these guys went with.
