Absolutely agreed that the battery situation is stupid and creating a lot of waste. Unfortunately I don't think these companies are going to willingly give up the cash-cow that is proprietary batteries and chargers, along with the sunk-cost customer base they maintain with it, unless they're forced to. It's a shame other countries don't protect consumers with as much vigor as the EU.
