Although it's very unpopular to say this at WC forums, MS is pretty clear that they don't want anything to do with Lumia line and they bet only on some mythical future paradigm shift. They don't make those phones anymore, they lower the prices constantly trying to get rid of them from stores. Absolutely no real support, no accessories like batteries. And on top of that, even if you go to a store the phones are hidden somewhere in the corner (if they're there at all).
I was always a big fan of Windows phones and I even spent another $300 and bought another Lumia 950XL just because of this unfortunate battery. However as soon as this one breaks there's no other way to go but with iPhone or Android. That's the truth. Or you can keep buying new phones, from Acer, HP or whatever daredevil is going to make them in 6 months. If you're stubborn you can hold on to this system for many years to come. After all, we have almost 2017 and you can still buy a Blackberry for instance. But does it make it a smart choice? It's your decision...
I did manage to source a replacement battery, the correct one it seems this time, on eBay. Yes, eBay again. The numbers all match up, verified with the seller. Hope its the fix, because the first one I got was not genuine and would charge slowly, then invariably drain quickly. I'll post the guys eBay info when it gets here and I test it correctly.
