Where did you boght the battery replacement? I'm trying to find it on the internet but no clues yet
Did some digging based on the specs listed in the picture (3.7V, 480mAh) and it appears that 303454 is the standard name for said specs, although not the same shape and size as the one pictured as they appear to be using a custom form factor. That said, it looks like there should be enough spare room in the controller to make it work, but I can't verify it myself as I'm only shopping for the controller at the time of writing. I was able to find a 303454 battery with the connector on Amazon for about $5, so no soldering should be required, and it looks thin enough to be compatible. They also have other capacities if you want to upgrade to 950 or 2,000mAh while you're at it. Let me know if you're able to try it!
