I know these are currently out of fashion but I’m still thankful they exist.
Let’s remind ourselves of devices that use(d) these standardized batteries:
Thanks to having a standardized system of batteries,
If you look at the pros I listed, they all happen to be things that would be very useful for electric cars. So I think it would aid the adoption of electric cars if their batteries were standardized too.
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Do you mean built-in rechargeable batteries? Because that’s way worse than removable batteries.
Zigbee smart home devices last a very long time on cell batteries (CR2050 or something similar) that I’m not really worried about those. I’ve got door sensors that have been going for over 2 years on the same batteries.
No - look at the IKEA smartphone line (TRÅDFRI and the like). They have stopped producing Zigbee devices that require CR2032 batteries and have released larger units that take AAA/AA rechargeable batteries.
