"Michael Straight, a former jockey paralyzed from the waist down, was left unable to walk for two months after the company behind his $100,000 exoskeleton refused to fix a battery issue. "
“I called [the company] thinking it was no big deal, yet I was told they stopped working on any machine that was 5 years or older,”
Why not use off the shelf 18650 or 21700 like some electric cars, then you just need to bundle the 18650 in a way that they can be desoldered or whatever
How do you stuff a 18650 into a smart watch controlling the device? Because that’s what the article implicates is the problem. For the exoskeleton itself there are no excuses.
Guess I shoudl’ve read a bit more, thought the skeleton was the issue not a shitty watch
