what is the modern obsession with adding charging circuits to everything? everything used to have a battery that you took out to charge. now every single glowstick and whirlygig has a charger built in and youre stuck with the shitty battery soldered to it.
when do we get a price increase for batteries like we got for ram?
>>107824201>Just 0 your Lithium cell brono thanks, I enjoy my battery lasting more than 3 charges or staying as a battery and not toxic incendiary grenade.
>>107824201Maintenance, repair and replace costs.You're a consumer now and that means you being unable to service electronics yourself.A firmware update here, an OS update there and pop goes your battery. Now go and buy the newest model you dumb goy.
>>107824215Let Sam Altman figure out.
>>107824201>learn to soldier>buy amazon soldering kit>change the battery yourself>problem solved
>>107824283>buyso the jews did this
>>107824201removable battery - you use the same device and replace the batteryfixed battery in device: when the battery dies you have to replace the entire devicePlanned Obsolescence
>>107824215uh hopefully never you jew?
>>107824239lol. are you joking?
So uh how do you propose charging a lithium cell without a charging circuit?
>>107826034master charging station for all your cells
>>107824201Unironically planned obsolescence from the manufacturer's point of view, but the retard-cattle cheer for this en-masse because it is more "convenient" to them when the entire device is tethered to a wall rather than being able to pop batteries in and out easily and having one charge while the other is in use.You can see some of the retard-cattle right ITT as well, for example: >>107824283
>>107824239this OP, and >>107824251 this droidjeet BTFO
>>107824201internal charging circuitry != a battery soldered in.actually I don't think most things even have the battery soldered in, they just make it a pain in the ass to get to the ribbon cable to replace the battery and don't make it easy to find batteries with the same shape + voltage + connector
>>10782615399% of the time the battery is soldered directly to the board for most things
>>107824201sorry for the convenience.
>>107824201>youre stuck with the shitty battery soldered to itno you are stuck.I just replace the batteries when they need it. I can still get batteries for my garmin GPS.
>>107826924>garmin GPS.grandpa?
>>107824201they got cheap and smalli still think you should have both: charging circuit and a way to quickly swap batteries especially if its a thing that can fit a standard battery size (18650, 10440)
>>107826153Yeah usually it's not soldered in, it's just that the entire surface of the battery is literally glued in ;)
>>107826934hey idiot. I didn't say I use it, I said I can get batteries for it.
>>107826943>i still think you should have both: charging circuit and a way to quickly swap batteriesyea i cant disagree with that, problem is they just added charging circuits to everything and no way to swap anymore
>>107826988personally i use these. they take standard lion batteries. charge from usb, output power over usb and have 3V,5V,9V pads to solder to. if you're out you can both swap out the battery for a fresh one or plug it into usb charging. ive put it on my fpv drone tracking antenna system it powers the drone tracker and a raspberry pi i use to to convert tracking data.for electronics big enough to fit you should use these but for small/flat stuff like laptops/phones i kinda get why theyre going with nonstandard batteries. i think something like the fairphone headphones do it well to where its not a standard battery but you can easily swap it or mod it to use any li-ion battery.https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ASc8sa5O2ikhowever most things with Li Ion will have a battery last so long that plugging it in occasionally is no issue and hotswapping batteries would not be needed. and if you do run out you can always connect a battery bank and use it while charging. this often simplifies design as you dont need parts that open up where you can put batteries in/out that can have points of failure.
>>107826034How do you think this was done before vapes were invented?
