Replacement battery for PineBook Pro

[DrYak]

hi!

After 4 years of use, the battery of my PineBook Pro is really swollen, I should change it soon~ish.

Currently, it seems out of stock on the official store, and the European store doesn't even sell spare batteries.

So: has anyone had success procuring batteries elsewhere?

I haven't yet, but just a quick search turns up several that look like they would work, including this one

That one specifically is not compatible, it's the 5pin variant, whereas the Pinebook Pro uses the 7pin avriant instead.
But cdrtd seem to have that one too.
But I don't know how much cdrtd is a reliable source for laptop parts. I've also found several vendors on AliExpress (random example), but same caveats apply: I don't know them, and I don't know anything about their reliability.

Update regarding my battery problem:

• still no answer from Pine64 themselves
  
• but since then I bought one from Ali mentionned above, replaced it, charged it, seems to work.
  

I'll update in a few weeks whether this battery still holds charge or if it degraded too quick.
