So now we get to research and compare alternative battery packs? I guess it could help if there's fewer of them, but I don't see why that would be.
at the very least you could follow some trusted entity's recommendation for a bunch of crates at once. e.g. if the author of some large rust project like bevy published a battery pack I would pay attention because they have had to solve the problem of picking out several crates and seeing that they all work well together.
