It’s criminal that companies are allowed to release products with sealed Lithium-ion batteries. Like… even excluding the benefit of hot-swapping them for better uptime, extending the product’s life with replacement, and limiting the proprietary shapes… old Lithium-ion batteries swell and explode. So why are we putting them into the core of our products with no way to see the health and remove them?
It’ll soon be illegal in the EU. If I remember correctly, all handhelds need to have removable batteries.
It’s like I cursed myself. THE DAY AFTER posting this I found out that the enclosed battery in my phone is swelling, and I have no method to remove it.
Very important use case as well. Safety.
That’s hopefully also something new battery tech will fix in the future, like solid state batteries.
But there’s probably still a few years before those are cheap enough to put in reasonable priced phones.
