In brief: EU regulations will soon require more devices to feature replaceable batteries, prompting some manufacturers to comply in advance. Logitech recently told The Verge that some of its mice will soon feature replaceable lithium-ion batteries, but the new models will only be available in Europe. While Logitech's gaming boss agrees that replaceable batteries make sense for expensive devices such as laptops and smartphones, he expects users to replace $50-$100 mice more often than they replace their batteries. Logitech's decision echoes Nintendo's plans to ship a new, Europe-only version of the Switch 2 with replaceable batteries for both the console and Joy-Cons. The EU's upcoming battery legislation aims to reduce e-waste by allowing users and repair shops to replace dead batteries rather than sending devices to landfills.
