Still have one of those, but I prefer the lightning one - to each their own. The plug in the front would work, but occasionally checking on battery status makes either location moot. When you see it’s at 25% or so, just plug it in before bed.

To me, this argument is less about the connector placement and more about users not watching over or caring about their tools.

If your lithium batteries run down below 10%, you’re damaging the batteries and they’ll reduce their possible SOC. It’s just like an EV in that way.
