My only complaint about the Dyson products is that they compromise on battery tech to help margins. I would expect such a design focused company to use the best batteries despite the effect on margins.

No sense charging top dollar and using less than state of the art batteries.

Tbh I don't remember that being mentioned at all. Even if true a huge bonus of buying Dyson is you can get cheap third party batteries easily.

I would say that the battery tech could be about 10 years old which would line up with your tenure.
