For clarity, i meant that the market could choose 'mega battery's or 'acme battery's' after they were standardised, not that the market would set or settle on the standard, right now the market is fixed and divided up on the first purchase.

Easy fix, deposit return for the battery sake, say 10 bucks on top of the price for the first one and then base price with a used one. Oh and a law making the battery removable, no glue, just terminals.

Like usb3 their need to be a universal standard for battery chargers and fitting. Let the invisible hand of the market decide which combo of tool and battery works best. Imagine if AA and AAA or D cell were all proprietary?

One of my favs back in the day, which now I think of it was only 10 or so years ago. We get old so fast.
