From February 18, 2027, electronic devices sold in the EU must allow users to replace batteries easily at home. This regulation aims to reduce the tendency to buy new devices when batteries fail. Devices affected include smartphones, tablets, laptops, and portable gaming consoles. Manufacturers must provide clear instructions and standard tools for battery replacement. However, some exceptions apply, such as smartwatches and certain medical devices, which will still require professional service for battery changes. Existing devices are not impacted by this new rule.
