minus-squarecm0002@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 months agoIg, but you can expect a Li-ion to last about 2-3 years, it’s not that much of a chore to open it up every 3 years, especially after the first time

minus-squareBigPotato@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 months agoI’ll accept that compromise. Now I’m more curious if the batteries are hot swappable though. It’d probably cause some chaos with the battery indicator but just making me think…
minus-squarelightnsfw@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 months agoWouldn’t the battery indicator already be fucked because of this? Do those cells match what it came with?
