On a device that gets replaced every 1-3 years? 🤔
Better be user replaceable or that's a lot of energy being stored in landfills.

Who says the devices are going to be replaced every 1-3 years after we solve those problems like today's non-replacable short-lasting batteries?

The battery tech isn't the part that needs replacing. ;)
