Comment on You can’t replace the battery in Lego’s Smart Bricks — and many of its sensors aren’t available yet

You do realize it’s rechargeable, right? I watched jerryrigeverything’s video on it and it’s honestly a pretty neat and impressive little gadget. I cant imagine the battery ever needing to be replaced even if it were designed to be possible. I would expect it to last 5+ years of heavy play before its battery life would be effected enough to notice.

Okay, but my 20+ year old Lego still work today. Can I expect this e-waste to perform the same for my grandchildren as it would today?

  To be fair, as long as the batteries are easily replaceable and don’t degrade destructively, it might age better than the original Mindstorms components which are a PITA to use today.
  
  Then again, plain ABS at worst yellows under too much UV.
