EU will require removable batteries from 2027 - Lemmy.world

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.

What about waterproof phones? I remember that they were planned to be an exception…

Removable batteries to not prevent phones from being waterproof. I see no reason there would need to be an exception.
