Short story of an industry that did batteries right.
We are remodeling much of our house (wife is using her inheritance $) and we are shopping for some furniture - hadn't done that for a coupla decades - and discovered that 'powered' recliners do not need to be near an outlet anymore, they have battery packs!, game changer! and, yeah, they all seem to use the same voltage and connectors. OK, not quite the same conditions as lawn tools, since recliners encounter just about the same loads/conditions all the time, but still, I think it might have gone the same way as cordless electric mowers. So, kudos to that industry.
