It sounds promising, but also a legal nightmare if they expect users to be competent enough to read instructions and replace batteries without causing burns or fires.

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Can I use batteries from rechargeable ecigs I find on the side of the road?
No the tobacco further ionizes the nodes, best to use weed vape batteries.
You realize that 18650 cells are just ... batteries. Like we've been having people change in small electronics for decades.
You underestimate how dumb the average user can be
Asinine headline. "Gouach solves the One awful thing about rechargable battery packs" ... thats also true. "4 million battery packs are thrown away a year, when all they needed was to replace the one or two bad cells. Startup (?) Gouach cracks the probelm!
I never heard of Gouach, but that headline is the worst spin on what is good news. "Drill company black and decker wants you to insert and pluck Drill bits from their Infinite Drill"
Best idea in the space hands down. More parts need to be user serviceable not less!
This sounds awesome
