Non-user-replaceable batteries are terrible. It turns devices into e-waste. I wish device manufacturers would understand that. I wish consumers would understand that.
- fn-mote 7mo ago> I wish device manufacturers would understand that. Device manufacturers want you to buy another one. They understand. Consumers, not so much.
- EvanAnderson 7mo agoFair enough. I wish consumers understood it and demonstrated that understanding to device manufacturers.
- projektfu 7mo agoAlkaline batteries also create e-waste when they leak and destroy the contacts. Only a few people will be able to repair it. I agree with you, also for things like radios alkalines are great as a battery that stays outside of the radio and is used when you need it, and doesn't leak much charge at all. But e-waste is still a problem.
