It had been in the works for a while, but now it has formally been adopted. From the article:
The regulation provides that by 2027 portable batteries incorporated into appliances should be removable and replaceable by the end-user, leaving sufficient time for operators to adapt the design of their products to this requirement.
my current phone rn has 65% out of 100% battery life, so even if it doesn’t need the battery replacement, it would still be nice to have a new battery for the extra capacity, only thing stopping me is its way to much work to actually replace said battery without taking it to a shop, so i would greatly benefit from it.
How old is that phone if you don’t mind me asking? My battery seems to lose about 2-3% a year but that seems unlikely in this case.
