Repairing the Steam Deck LCD Gets Much More Expensive as Official Battery Reaches $180

Just checked on aliexpress : a 3rd party battery with hundreds of positive reviews is 29€.
Yeah, that’s the confusing bit. We’re told that the selected third party batteries are good quality, but I’m weary that they’re all just being made in the same factory.
And by that I don’t mean that I think the AliExpress battery is necessarily bad. I’m saying I think it’s the same, but ifixit has found a way to gouge by suggesting that their third party battery is different.
AliExpress is a pile of garbage but you can find decent things there if you know where to look. I’ve gotten quite some decent items from there.
Anyone and any shop can sell there ranging from good ones to scammers.
Aliexpress is NOT a pile of garbage. Retract your words! I’m aliexpress’ number 1 defender!
No but for real, nowadays amazon is much worse.
