Them being collected does not mean that they are reused. But hopefully they are, because they make a lot of them.
The thing is: if it's more profitable to make new ones than to reuse the old ones, they most certainly will go that way.
- HeyLaughingBoy 2y agoThey look designed for reuse. The major tell is that the case is snap-closed and not an ultrasonic weld or adhesive.
- palata 2y agoYes they do, which is why I hope they are :-)
- HeyLaughingBoy 2y agoThe reason I focused on that is because a company I used to work for had a product that had a much higher BOM cost and it was supposed to be repairable after the battery wouldn't take a charge anymore. Problem was that the cost of opening the case to replace the battery was so high that we just tossed them in a pile and sent new ones to the customers who had returned them to get a new battery installed. These guys clearly planned ahead :-)
