Shout-out @iFixit for their wonderful #pixel6a battery replacement kit and instructions.
My wife's phone was one of those that google throttled down because of problematic batteries.
I bought the kit from #ifixit, and, following their step by step instructions, I was able to open the phone, remove the battery, stick in the new battery, and put everything together (the shaped glue tape is fantastic). It took 2-3 hours, not easy, I have to say.
And it works, which I doubted until the end (because of low trust in my abilities, not quality of stuff)
My phone instead is a Fairphone 4... Battery replacement is... 1 minute. I can probably do it with 1 hand, blindfolded 😁

@lgsp @iFixit @right2repair I might have to go this route because Ubreakifix put me on a waiting list for the alleged free battery replacement and I never heard back. I usually have to charge 2-3x/day depending on usage, which is very annoying. There's literally nothing else wrong with this phone and I could see myself using it for a couple more years at least but not with the battery crippled.
