iFixit (at least the US site) has been out of stock for Pixel 6a batteries for a few months now. I started looking when news of this update was coming down the line. Anyone got a dfferent suggestion than iFixit in the meantime?

They're supposedly offering free battery replacements.

If your Pixel 6a is an Impacted Device, you may be eligible for a battery replacement at no charge. You can visit our registration page to find a battery replacement option near you.

Mine was already previously refurbished and ineligible for the program, which is why I'm seeking out another option, sadly. I already checked.

I've used batteriesplus, but it's been a few years since I've needed a replacement so I don't know if they're in stock.

If you get the battery replacement will it stop limiting battery capacity and charging speeds? I'm guessing not.
