According to the fast technology report, the latest EU law means that starting from 2027, new smartphones and handheld game devices sold in the EU region will need to be equipped with replaceable batteries.
Specifically, “replaceable battery” means that the battery of the device can be easily removed using commercially available tools. Even if it cannot be realized, manufacturers need to provide special tools to consumers free of charge.
This means that in addition to smartphones, handheld devices such as Switch and SteamDeck need to be designed with the convenience of battery replacement in mind. At the same time, this new regulation also means that users have the right to replace the battery on their own when the performance of the battery declines, instead of resorting to official or third-party maintenance channels like now.
The news of the “EU’s most stringent battery regulations” earlier attracted the attention of many people, including the requirement that the iPhone must use a removable battery, which aroused public support.
