““A portable battery should be considered to be removable by the end-user when it can be removed with the use of commercially available tools””

Additionally, the manufacturer should make batteries available for SEVEN years after release.

A step in the right direction, IMO. Now mandate software support for that duration.

    Agree it’s a step in the right direction.

    I worry about “commercially available tools”. As it stands, lots of batteries can be replaced (at great difficulty and peril) with a heat gun and spudgers and patience. But that would be missing the point of this change.
