I was very surprised and a bit sad when I learned that lithium batteries are actually standardized around the 18650 form factor and we don't accommodate people being able to replace them anyway.

We don't accommodate it because various makes of batteries have wildly different characteristics and applications, but all of them have a bad safety profile. For us, it's fine. For the general public, not so much.

Some are in that 18650 form factor but a lot are not.
