Hardware Where to buy a replacement battery in 2023?

[iloveass]

My o3DSXL has been running the same battery since I bought it probably around 10 years ago, and of course the battery life is terrible.
I messaged ninty support but they said they don't stock replacement parts anymore. After a quick look around I found some obvious fakes with way too high reported mAh values
So, does anyone know any reputable places to find replacement?
Thanks

Maybe ifixit?

I've never used them before but I'd be surprised if they were selling bad batteries.

Cameron Sino. They're Chinese batteries (but what replacement batteries these days aren't, tbh) and popular in the PSP community, but seem to be the best (or at least better) out of the other no-name brands.

They can be bought from places like Amazon, Ebay and AliExpress.

Nintendo still sells batteries at their store.

I don't think these ship to EU, good for anyone in USA who reads this thread though.

Thanks, it might be the best option for me

Couldn't tell because your profile listed you as living in Antarctica.

Have you looked at ifixit? I just had a quick check and they have a UK store
