Hardware Buy a New 3DS (non-XL) replacement battery in EU?

[tpax]

Hello friends!

The battery in my regular New 3DS went to shit, so I would love to get a replacement. The problem is, it looks like an impossible task to get a battery for the non-XL model here in the EU (Germany).

There are tons of batteries for the New 3DS XL on Amazon, but non for the regular one. The one I need has the model number KTR-003, what you can buy here is the CTR-003 which doesn't fit if I get it correctly.

Someone has an idea how I can get my hands on a proper battery? Maybe some Chinese vendor that may ship one? Or maybe some kind of replica that is compatible with the new 3DS?

The reason why I got the non-XL New 3DS is because it's so small and fits perfectly in my pocket. Now wearing a powerbank with me all the time destroys the whole idea of having a perfect portable gaming machine with you. So I hope someone give that supersecret special hint that will make my life better.

Best regards,
m00h

You can contact nintedo by phone I think and order one from them, about £15 iirc

Unfortunately, Nintendo EU doesn't sell them. The only thing you can do, is to send the 3DS as repair order, and let them replace the battery. I don't want to do this for obvious reasons.
