Nintendo Switch 2 Gaining Replaceable Batteries to Meet EU Regulations

Nintendo plans to release a new Nintendo Switch 2 model in the EU with user-replaceable batteries, complying with upcoming EU regulations.

Nintendo plans to release a Switch 2 revision in the European Union that will let users replace their own batteries, Nikkei reports. The current version of the Switch 2 has a glued-in battery. But Nintendo apparently plans to make the change in order to comply with EU rules going into effect in February 2027 that will require devices to let users easily swap out portable batteries.
