Ah sorry, it's in no way negative critique.
And has nothing with polarity or any some such that LAsp is on about.
I'm not illiterate LAsp. I have both read and understood. And have no problem what so ever with the present format. (There was a couple of peculiarities I stumbled upon, nothing to it. And most definitely nothing to go on and on about. You're barking up the wrong three.)
As for cellphone batteries, I just find the format better, the actual casing.
The problem with that casing is that it isn't one form. There are legio forms.
But they are, basically, all flat. And fairly much the same setup of contacts.
OK, fair enough, I happen to have a bunch of them laying around, with chargers.
So what I'm mostly interested in is what mAh the mandated cells have.
And I don't really mean it would work better or anything.

These Li-Ion cells aren't common on the consumers market, even if we as such have a multitude of them around us. In our cellphones and in our laptops.
But not in the radio, the MP3-player or your flashlight.
(Even if the flashlight really could use it nowadays. White LED's typically wants 3.6 volts... So these Li-Ion fit that bill perfectly well with their 3.7 volts.)
So, enough of that.
Just the question of why they are not included in the first place.
Wouldn't that be more "user friendly"?
There's always a certain amount of anxiety when you have to find the right bit yourself like this. And the additional cost for postage and escrow (or whatever things as Paypal should be called) adds up to.
And there where much jubilation when Erik's inkpot went dr
