I may very well be wrong - time will tell!

Consider, though - when was the last time that you say any new electronic device that used AA or AAA batteries? They all seem to use LiIon batteries now, and I don't think that's a trend that's going to be reversed.
Right about that Harry! Big outfits rarely take out a product without an aftermarket thought. And you can also bet that each battery is different. Can you say Babelbattery?
