Is it easier to change the battery? The European Union plans to introduce new regulations: banning the use of glue for electronic products

On March 17, Sammobile reported that the European Union plans to ban the use of glue-bonded batteries for electronic products such as mobile phones from next year to facilitate removal. Nowadays, many manufacturers have given up the old road of adhesive fixed batteries, but there are still some companies that continue to use glue to fix batteries.

The EU wants to ban the use of glue-bonded batteries across the consumer electronics sector from 1 January 2023, including other battery-powered products such as smartphones, tablets, other mobile computers, wireless headphones, and electric scooters.

Previously, the European Union proposed to force the unification of the USB-C interface, and Xiao Lei believed that it also had a positive effect on the electronic product market, but he did not know when it would be officially implemented.

Friends who have watched the video of disassembling smart phones probably know that the use of glue adhesive batteries has a huge negative impact on its repairability, and if you want to remove the battery, some professional disassembly experts will use degludents to dissolve the internal glue and take out the battery.

Users without professional tools can only heat the battery for a few minutes by hair dryer, and then remove the battery, which may deform the battery when removed, which is inconvenient and dangerous. Of course, due to the difficulty of battery removal, repair shops often do not provide maintenance services for related equipment, or the asking price is very high, which is not friendly to consumers.

In the era of functional machines and early smart machines, the mobile phones we use are basically removable battery design, in order to better endurance, users often have a few more spare batteries, usually use universal charging and replenishment, in case of emergency. As the body technology of smart phones becomes more advanced and integrated, removable batteries have withdrawn from the historical stage.

At present, the fast charging technology of smart phones continues to advance, and some mobile phones can even compress the charging time to less than 20 minutes, and users do not need to relieve battery anxiety by replacing the battery. To say when you need to change the battery, there is basically no other reason than the aging of the battery.

In recent years, in order to reduce the difficulty of battery removal of hand mobile phones, mobile phone manufacturers have adopted designs such as pull-in glue and quick-disassembly, and users only need to gently pull to remove the battery, without the need for degumming agents, hair dryers and other tools to toss repeatedly. At this point, domestic manufacturers and Apple are doing quite well.

With the support of this ban, manufacturers who are still using adhesives to fix batteries will inevitably find alternative solutions to replace them, and look forward to the early implementation of the new regulations of the European Union to give consumers a little more convenience.
