Regarding the release of mobile notebook PCs with replaceable batteries by customers Epson Direct Corporation plans to release a 13.3-inch mobile notebook PC with a user-replaceable battery around November 2024. Until now, notebook PCs generally did not have replaceable batteries. If you use it for a long time, the battery life will deteriorate and you won’t be able to do without the AC adapter. I would like to send it in for repair to replace the battery, but it would be difficult for security reasons… The solution to this problem is a model that allows the battery to be replaced by the customer. If you can replace the battery, there is no need to replace the entire PC, and you can use the PC for a long time just by purchasing the battery. This not only reduces costs and man-hours during procurement, but also reduces CO2 emissions generated during manufacturing.
