Valve Confirms Steam Frame is Still Coming This Year, Now Marked as "coming soon"

Anyone knows if the controllers will be rechargeable?

AA batteries are what it shows on the Steam Frame store page. Text is

Easy battery access​

Each Steam Frame controller runs on a single AA battery, offering ~40 hours of play time.

I know this, but if I use rechargeable AA batteries, will I be able to charge them without removing them from the controllers? Like through usb-c?
Third party manufacturers have a workaround for quest 3. They made their own batteries with their doors for their wireless charging dock.
Why is valve going into this highly impractical decision?
Having replaced the batteries in mg index controllers, because they died and wouldn’t charge anymore, this is a huge improvement. Replacing batteries in the index was seriously impractical. Required special tools to open the controllers, and batteries are glued in. For these i will just keep a bunch of spare rechargable batteries ready to go and swap as needed. This also solves the issue of getting replacement batteries, for the index controllees and also the tracking puks you have to resort to (at the time i was looking) a single seller on aliexpress. With AA it is a universal standard with lots of options.
