They also say this:
In the absence of relevant standards and until the publication of the references of the relevant harmonised standards in the Official Journal of the European Union, the transitional testing methods set out in Annex IVa, or other reliable, accurate and reproducible methods, which take into account the generally recognised state-of-the-art methods, shall be used.
So I remain hopeful.
Apparently not
the new labels is tested using the same software used by many tech reviewers: SmartViser. This French automation company works with labs and manufacturers to simulate real-world usage. So now, the battery performance you see on the label is based on consistent, lab-tested data, not just marketing claims.
Not sure how to go about marketing that in our current disposable society, though.
Ditto. The most likely solution would be EU regulations forcing longer battery life/better battery safety. Maybe the new law for replaceable batteries in smartphones could be enough, it includes a rating on charging cycles which could be the new "muh number is bigger!"
Why would they? AFAIK it's less power density for safety gain - which is hard to market. The only way I see it happening is if we find a safer and denser storage medium or if laws force safer batteries.
Drive far away and release them?

You will be assimilated.
He has a wife, you know!
How can that become news?
The difference between cells and batteries is that you have to have multiple lithium cells to make a battery.
Edit: this is around 25000 mAh
