There are some good points about replaceable batteries v sealed units but having just looked for a head torch which street mostly replaceable battery I found it’s really frustrating shopping experience.
You have to price up light plus battery, and often, plus charger.
Different lights using the same battery means run time changes as you change the light. Lots of brands have proprietary batteries and even batteries that are proprietary to models within the same brand. One brand sells their batteries and chargers separately, another bundles those two items together and yet another bundles it all with the light.
Bike lights are much easier to shop for
