Nintendo Makes a New Switch 2 with Replaceable Battery
The console is updated to comply with European regulations
Starting in 2027, all consumer electronic devices sold in the European Union must have easily removable and replaceable batteries, by virtue of a regulation aimed at introducing a sustainable model to reduce environmental impact. You can find more information on the official EU channels; this new rule will obviously affect all household appliances, including video games.
What Changes for Nintendo Switch 2
The problem of changing the battery on Switch 2 doesn't arise today, as the console is still relatively new, but it will in the future. On the current model, it's a long and delicate process that requires disassembling and reassembling various parts of the console, with the risk of breaking something: in other words, it's only for those with expert hands. Thanks to the new EU regulation, however, things are about to change.
