    I agree, I think this is a miss. This will just mean more batteries will be manufactured. Most people will replace the device before the battery performance degrades.

    Unless the battery is a universal/interchangable model this will increase waste as the manufacturer will have to make replacements available per model.

    People will also perhaps then buy replacement batteries when handing down/selling devices, where they would have just have managed with degraded performance in the past.

    Sounds good but I don’t know really.

      Typically, replacement parts are only manufactured during the lifetime of the device. Because of that, I don’t think that the replacement batteries would contribute significantly to waste.

      People will also perhaps then buy replacement batteries when handing down/selling devices, where they would have just have managed with degraded performance in the past.

      What’s the problem with this?
