Small cylinder batteries are just called "batteries" in English. If you mean the type that you can charge, we call those "rechargeable batteries". People will infer that you mean the cylinders even though usb batteries are also rechargeable (I'd call that an "internal battery").
I like the sound of accumulator more though. In English that word is usually reserved for hydraulics or electrical engineers
I don't know that accumulators have to be rechargeable, just an object that collects (even if only at its initial charge) and stores energy.
It's just not a term I hear often, and I thought it was interesting. I like also hearing about how other countries use the term, it's enlightening. I didn't realize that it is the primary term to refer to a battery in several countries.
The toy we had was from around 2010, I think that there may have been less risk back then, but your point still stands (PS I was using linux as a desktop)
If it's not a phone where size matters it's almost always some generic battery that you could replace with another that's not even the same size. They might have different connectors on it, but usually it's just a positive and negative lead that somehow connects.
True, but literally the vast majority of people don't know enough about batteries to do that. Which is what makes it anti-consumer and anti-environmentally conscious.
Many gadgets are smaller than an 18650 (the oversized thumb sized cell), which is about the only standard lithium size I've ever seen be replaceable. There's hardwired rectangles everywhere, not just phones
They often get thrown in the garbage instead of being recycled. They can catch fire when punctured. Not something I would want near a small child when a NiMH would do just as well.
