I like the idea… I think it’s a terrible waste to have to toss things just because of a pooched battery pack that normally can’t be easily replaced. This would certainly help keep things from the landfills.

I hope it can happen with other things too eventually… like cordless tools. I have several drills that, while the drills themselves are in great shape, the batteries are cooked and in a lot of cases it’s cheaper to just buy a new drill than to replace the battery packs.
