There should be an industry consortium to establish a common, standardized battery platform for cordless tools, similar to how USB-C standardized charging across devices. This would allow consumers to purchase tools from any manufacturer without worrying about battery compatibility. The current landscape, where each manufacturer maintains its own proprietary battery system, is inefficient and detrimental to customers when it comes to choosing tools. Can you imagine if car manufacturers had proprietary gas nozzles to fill gas?
Many no-name tool manufacturers have started to adopt the Makita 18v battery platform. On another note, the EU deserves credit for forcing Apple to abandon its proprietary Lightning connector and adopt USB-C.

When I searched Lowes for, "Bosch battery" there was a 4Ah starter kit on sale for $59 & also a single 4Ah battery for $49. I saw the kit listed on Slickdeals, & am assuming the single battery is also listed.

Some companies are at least grouping together for a standard battery platform. Bosch has the ampshare platform ie. https://www.ampshare.com/us/en/#3423358 Can't recognize most of these brands though.
Their german rival metabo has an older share platform.
https://cordless-alliance-system....-world.php
Can't recognize most of these either.

Of course there should be, but their goal is not to provide convenience, it's to trap you into their system.

This is why I've been consistently trying to show people the "Green" movement is all nonsense virtue signaling by companies. Sorry, but MONEY still RULES the world even with the virtuous movements people are believing. If it were about using resources wisely they would be advocating for this kind of interoperability of power tool batteries, video cables, the list could go on. Your cell phone would have a removable battery so that you didn't have to buy a new phone every few years. Instead of bragging about a new $50k electric vehicle every few years, the focus could be on keeping cars repaired and maintained so that you're not wastefully swapping vehicles. Grocery stores love cloth bags because they don't have to spend money providing YOU with a bag anymore to carry the stuff that you just paid them for. It's all a giant scam telling people they are wasteful for while the largest companies are the most wasteful and exploitative ones. Money has always been the way of the world since the beginning of civilization, people just don't want to admit it as the reality.

Agreed but the tool brands have zero incentive to do so and I don't see any possibility of regulation occurring to do so. Locking people into their battery system and this tool line is too big a part of the industry.

The HEPA attachment that's also on clearance for $50 fits this right?
