So, HTC charges $97 to replace the (small)battery in a $150 device which imo is ridiculous. I can change the battery myself, but unfortunately it seems like there just aren't any good options. HTC does not and has never sold the batteries. There are batteries available on aliexpress and ebay, but quality seems questionable. The most trustworthy??? option seems to be to get a cameron sino battery, but the battery they offer is significantly smaller in capacity and only has a nominal voltage of 3.7v instead of 3.85v. So, I guess I'm wondering what I should do? Just get the questionable aliexpress/ebay/amazon battery that supposedly has the right voltage and capacity, get the seemingly crappy cameron sino battery, or what I'm hoping is that I am mission some option or info that y'all will be able to shed some light on which would aid in the decision making process. Seems like a waste to just buy new trackers when it's just the battery, which should be a cheap part to get.

If it helps the battery part number is B2PYV100 with a capacity of 740mAh and a nominal voltage of 3.85. It's a lipo type cell.
