No manufacturer will ever do this. From a marketing point of view there is absolutely no reason, zero, nada for making new battery tech backwards compatible. Just look at the rate that most tech loving bikers replace their acoustic bikes. Two seasons max. Anything more is beyond the design envelope of most bike companies.
Batteries will likely be soldered and cast into the frame, making replacement costly or impossible. Just like it happened with notebooks and phones.
