So around the time it was revealed that the 6a batteries were defective the battery in my phone started swelling and now won’t hold a charge. I’ve waited to see if Ifixit would get any more stock but I just emailed them earlier this morning and they told me that they won’t have any stock in the foreseeable future.

Does anyone know of a way to get any batteries? Preferably official ones but a reliable third party one will work too.

UPDATE: I think I might just buy a refurbished Pixel 7 and return the replacement parts I already bought to Ifixit, that depends on if Google actually gives me the $100 that I requested.

UPDATE 2: I was awoken with an email notification this morning that said that Ifixit had been restocked with 15 6a batteries, I have bought one.

    Hm, I’m in the EU, in a country where a battery swap is not offered.
    Maybe that makes a difference.
