Battery replacement must be 'easily' achieved by consumers, in
proposed European law [and later, banning of ordinary AA, C, and D
cells, etc.?]
So this would apparently force phone manufacturers, for example, to go
back to easily replaceable batteries like years ago. It's not clear to
me how far this could go in practice -- phones are one thing, but many
small devices have wired in lipo batteries for example, and I don't
see it being practical to make them replaceable by users.
But the other part of this is about their perhaps considering the banning
of non-rechargeable batteries years later like ordinary AA, C, and D cells,
etc., yeah, with many exceptions, but still seems problematic. -L
