Multi Switch 2 Console To Have Removable Battery?

[Demon_Skeith]

The European Union implements a new regulation requiring portable devices to feature replaceable batteries. The new EU rule requires that all new products that include a portable battery, including gaming hardware like the Nintendo Switch, feature "readily removable and replaceable" batteries. However, the updated regulations won't take effect until 2027.

Starting in 2027, the European Union will require that all devices with portable batteries will make those batteries removable and replaceable by their owners. While a focus has been placed on iPhones, Android devices, and other mobile devices, the regulations also cover handheld consoles like the Nintendo Switch. All devices with portable batteries are included, presumably meaning that controllers and powered accessories will need to comply as well.

I like that the Switch 2 will have a removable battery, so people can easily replace broken or dyimg batteries.

If they kept with the batteries they used for the Game Boy and Game Boy Advance they would be saving themselves more money. However, I doubt that would fly for consumers if they cut a corner like that.

It would be niceif Nintendo can use popular battery sizes like AA and AAA batteries for powering a handheld console, so users won't need to worry about Nintendo or another company no longer making the batteries anymore.
