      Usually legislation is intentionally vague like that, ultimately courts will decide what that really means in practice.

      It will end up being just reasonable. Any person can have a reasonable expectation that they will be able to replace the battery with a reasonable amount of time and effort, with readily available tools, with a reasonable amount of guidance.

      If you were a judge would you say that it’s reasonable to expect people to be able to replace soldered components on their phones?
