Oh god, my heart skipped a beat because I thought they meant like AA batteries or something, whew
what's wrong with AA batteries tho? easily swappable, hot spares, rechargable, interchangable with other devices
Only 1.5 volts.
Steam deck would need 10 AA
Let's use 18650 batteries
Well, aside from being super chunky, these batteries have exposed terminals and can deliver massive current, and can catch fire when shorted. That's why they're typically not sold directly to consumers.
Or an external Powerpack, like the GameGear had 😵💫
