    This is a very good thing. Thank you EU for forcing us dirty heathens in NA to have consumer protections.

    Excellent, I like that I can replace batteries easily from my old handhelds, the only issue for that case is finding trusted ones.

    I think there should be a requirement for easily expandable storage as well.

    Switch and Steam Deck seem to be OK for this, but I’d like to further piss on Apple’s chips.

      Steam deck done.

      Not really. Look up the Linus Tech Tips teardown. The battery is glued in super hard. Linus said he spoke to Valve about that and according to him Valve said they’re looking into making it easier to replace at a later date. Since then I’ve not seen any reports about a change.

        And requires heating + prying.

        If this is considered replaceable, I wonder what an non-replaceable battery would be. Soldered to the main board and trying to unsolder it causes a failsafe to short the CPU?
