Nintendo is redesigning the European Switch 2 to allow users to replace batteries in both the console and Joy-Con controllers to comply with EU Right to Repair and Battery Regulation requirements by 2027. Similar changes could be implemented in the US and Japan if consumer protection laws change, though the timing for the European model's availability remains unclear.
