One of the things we can do as humans is re-develop standardized, replacable, rechargable power cells for our devices.
We rely on the batteries in our devices outlasting the Product Cycle, true. That won't be a forever kinda thing, and in a post industrial crisis sorta world, we're gonna want electronic devices that take modular components. If you can't just go and buy a new cell phone, you have to repair your own from Parts.
And they're all hyper proprietary.
