In the same way that apple were forced to adopt the c-type USB charger what else would benefit from a similar change?

> Power tools are getting standardised batteries soon Ill believe the when I see it tbh. I've not heard about it before but it is my #1 suggestion. Just looking now I can't see any progress updates online about it, just mainly speculation about a veryyy broad EU law. It's not like the USB C law where the EU specifies exact devices which need USB C, like phones, tablets, and headphones. If it does happen it seems like 2027 is around the deadline apparently but it's not gonna happen unless the EU themselves decides on a standard and for which tools it applies. Can't just say to 100 tool companies to sort it between themselves and expect them all to agree, so hopefully the EU just comes along and sets a connector design themselves and minimum requirements of the batteries. Hopefully it works out and does happen by 2027 though, would be a hugeee change. No more feeling locked to 1 manufacturer, just buy whatever you want. Buying and selling second hand tools will be much easier too. It should also reduce the amount of sales of dodgy cheap chinese tool batteries too because you can just get cheaper batteries from legit companies. Don't want to pay £70 for a dewalt 4ah battery? Then just get the £30 lidl/parkside 4ah battery and it'll be compatible!
