			== Reliable replacement batteries ==

			The official PinePhone batteries seem to have been [https://pine64.com/product/pinephone-lithium-battery "out of stock"] for at least a year or so. Please add comments about your experiences with replacement batteries. My general experience is that non-PinePhone batteries - with "Samsung" written on them - decharge and/or may cause modem disconnections. Please add URLs and/or hints based on experience here.

			These comments assume that you have already read the official recommendation: ''Samsung part number EB-BJ700BBC / BBE / CBE from the 2015 J7 phone''.
