    Could just we stop the influx of single use items with non rechargeable or repurposeable lithium batteries in them.

      I’d love to see a situation where we have a standard gum stick battery and everything just runs on multiples of those that we can replace.

          I mean there are 18-650’s as well, but they’re bulky and cylinders suck for packing efficiency.

          I’d like to lightly armored, rectangular pouch cells the half the width and thickness of a deck of playihg cards. Standard sized, replacable in phones/laptops/tablets. Something like the old nokio batteries, but with upgraded chemistry, and maybe twice as thick.
