The core problem here seems, again, lythium ion batteries not being replaceable by consumers.
I wonder why there is no push to build the lythion AA/AAA equivalent. The cells are already quite standardized, so we need to bundle a few of them in a plastic container, with some support electronics. Some standard form factors for small and big devices should do. I'd love for my UPS and my bike to have the same batteries.
This seems a standard EU workbook: Give the industry 2 years to come up with something, with the threat of eurocrats dictating a standard if they fail.
- quickthrowman 3y agoThere are many standard lithium ion cell sizes, here is a list: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_battery_sizes#Lithium-ion_batteries_(rechargeable) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_battery_sizes#Lithiu... Many battery packs (power tolls, Tesla, and more) are just a bunch of cells ganged together with a battery management controller inside a plastic shell. The problem lies in the connectors/controllers being proprietary.
