andrew.comly@protonmail.com submitted a question about your project, "EOMA68 Computing Devices":

battery replacements? suppossing i buy this eOMA68 PFY Laptop Housing Kit for Computer Card along with the Libre Tea Computer Card and use along with my , and use it everyday for a few years. Then, as other netbook/laptop/tablet/android like things the lithium battery dies. Do I have to buy a new kit? Why isn't the battery replacement available on https://www.crowdsupply.com/eoma68/micro-desktop? Where can one buy a replacement to the battery?

hi andrew,

it's a good question. i'm extremely busy at the moment, i'm ccing you to the list, which you can search where this was last discussed (a long while ago) and also where people will help. if you check the schematics and PDFs which you can find via the website, you'll find the battery part number and manufacturer.

you do not need my permission or for me to be the "sole location from which that part is obtained". *however*... the supplier *may* require a MOQ of say QTY 100, and, as it has been a long time, may not respond at all (particularly the way things are now, world-wide). if you contacted them and say "i demand QTY 1" they may just get annoyed enough (being a wholesaler) so that *nobody* from Europe gets batteries

in addition: the full CAD files are available. if you get really stuck, you can source your own battery. that's the whole point of the whole exercise. and if _you_ can't do it, you can contact the mailing list and find someone who can help you.

best,
