There’s 18650s and similar standard cells. Many laptop batteries used to be collections of standard cells back in the day - they could be again.
My complaint about laptop batteries isn’t their ease of replacement (which has been declining over the decades), but rather their cost. That cost is driven in large part by their specific application - they’ve got it, you want it, and there’s little or no supplier competition…
Ah, ok. Well I don’t think Framework has done much in the way of cost. The 13’s battery is listed on their site for $70, so it’s about on par with other battery replacements, if not a bit more expensive.
