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.

    Yeah that’s not true and you’re obviously lying. Unless you live in a country where the purchasing power of a dollar is about five or six times greater than everyone else.

    Batteries cost $20 as a retail item before you even factor in their labor.

      Of fucking course I’m not including the battery. It an independent unrelated variable.

      The cost to have the battery replaced is $10-15 dollars. You are grasping at straws here my man.
