Anyone have any experience with this? I recently undocked my Switch for the first time in a while and found the battery was significantly swollen. I’ve powered it down but I want to replace it.

iFixit has a kit that seems good but there’s others online for half the price. How risky would buying the cheaper one be?

Thanks

Edit: went with iFixit and it was a success!

        It was a few years ago and even if the seller still exists on the platform (which is not given), I couldn’t find it.

            Sure, that’s definitively safer. With AliExpress even when I had issues they were dealt with properly, but it’s probably better with ifixit

                That’s not something I’d assume. Aliexpress sometimes delivers packages within one week for me (I live in Poland).

                  Interesting, I guess it’s been some time since I ordered form there. I am also across the ocean however. I will keep that in mind.

                    It makes a lot of difference. For me shipping times for both would be similar, but I’d have to pay for shipping from the US&A, and possibly some duties/taxes. With AE all of this is already included in the price of what I’m buying (except for some products that aren’t offered with free shipping, which is always clearly stated).
