I bought a relacement battery connector (https://pine64.com/product/pinephone-pro...connector/) and replaced it today, it works!
I had to follow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQ0AW2Dekgg to know how to open zif tabs, also had https://fr.ifixit.com/Tutoriel/Pine64+Pi...50?lang=en in a tab to ensure I didn't forgot to disconnect anything.
The replacement job was ugly: my desoldering pump was too big to fit between parts, so I had to break the old one into small pieces to unsolder connection by connection.
Then I put tiny drops of lead on each connections, then placed the new connector, and heated the 4 connections one by one while pressing it to try to have a good connection.
I also tried to apply a bit of lead on the two legs for proper mechanical fixation.
And it works \o/
I don't know if I'll use it as a phone or as a home server though ^^
