@rasterweb @sjpiper145 and here’s another crazy thing - how are chargers designed to charge the LiR coin cells at all compliant? They can’t be. Even LiR coin cells that are not meant to be replaced by the user are NOT exempt. I mean, the zinc air exception is cool, but the shelf life after opening and cost of them are both bad. So yeah I guess we’re back to alkaline and nothing small? Or using danger pillows everywhere?
@alpenglow @rasterweb Yeah, it's a really tough one - I'm exhausted after already re-fitting my kits twice to meet CE, UKCA and past coin cell battery compliance. I think I'll be saving my badge kits for EU orders or phasing them out and sticking to larger alkaline powered kits.
@sjpiper145 @rasterweb I’m with you. It’s incredibly frustrating and discouraging. I mean, the only cost-effective alternative I can think of is to just stick a USB connector on badges/kits and let the customer figure it out.
