Would be nice if we went back to using the AA, AAA type batteries too. I've got like 20 rechargables still good and only need them for my controllers and remote. Everything else seems to have done away with them. :(
As much as standard AA,AAA batteries are nice and common. The issue is that they are not that energy dense. So for a 5000MaH battery you would need a larger space if it where AA's than if it's a nice and flat LiPo pack.
Also our modern devices use pretty specialized charging/power needs which require custom batteries.
Can't fast charge an AA with 120W's of power.
Though I remeber the days a low battery on my gameboy didn't have to mean finding a cable but just plopping some fresh AA's. Felt like reloading irl.
They probably could just make some standard Li-Po packs. Some Li-Ion packs did become de-facto standards (see the Nokia battery), so things like that did happen.
