It is a common enough 3.7V Li-ion battery. Buy it on eBay or AliExpress or GearBest or .. for 5$. Just look at the codes printed on the battery and google it.

The competitors don't do much better in the case of batteries. With all those gadgets you'll have to learn how to open them up and replace the battery. It's not rocket science, but it does mean you'll have to learn how to distinguish between different batteries offered on the internet.

interesting, the only electronic device i own which i can't easily change the battery without ripping it apart is my ereader, even the mobile phone as a battery cover which pops off nice and easy, how good is that.



best wishes koboy
