We're all being taken for mugs.
It is not as if all, (the few) electric tool manufacturers have extensive battery chemistry laboratories. The EU have fallen asleep at the wheel. The batteries used in cordless power tools should be standardised, so that the user can choose the best tool, (which will soon be brushless at an affordable price), and the best battery, rather than being tied to a specific manufacturers range.
We are so used to standardised batteries for AA, AAA, C, D types we ignore their genericity.
We should expect the same for cordless power tools.
