New 3DS XL Replacement Battery

[BadBunny]

Hi.

Since my New 3DS XL battery is broken, I want to buy a new one.
Can someone recommend a good alternative to the original SPR-003 battery?

Thanks

If they're out of stock on the official Nintendo shop, then keep checking back; they'll restock eventually.

Otherwise, I've never heard of anything bad happening by using a battery from elsewhere.

I live in Germany. Neither the Nintendo shop nor Nintendo support can provide me with a battery. Nintendo support only suggests sending in the 3DS, and they would replace it entirely. wich is, of course, the most expensive way of getting a new battery

Aftermarket batteries are a hit and miss.

I've had good luck with Cellonic. They are a few years old and still working nicely.

Obviously I can't guarantee they are still the same quality.

WTF? To me they at least offered replacing the battery if sending in my console -- which I of course refused to do.

Try iFixIt. I got my battery for my original 3DS there and they are very good. Based in Europe as well!

Well, that was my first thought too. They told me, it's because of replacement parts shortage.
Therefore my question if anyone has some experience on alternatives.
I know iFixit, I also knew they're selling tools, but not spare parts too. Well, think will give them a chance. /))/)

I recently ordered one of these, and it's doing the job just fine. Not sure if they ship to Germany, though.
