Kobo Elipsa (1st gen) battery issue

Hello, it looks like my Elipsa battery is failing me, I've charged it two days ago and now it's at 14% without moving even when reading..? I purchased it at launch so it's been 5 years now. Anyone changed the battery themselves? It seems to be glued to the device so I guess it's a big no-no, that would explain why I don't see any battery replacement kit. I guess it's time to shutdown it every night instead.

Interesting enough, my laptop got also battery issues and purchased around the same time so it looks like the batteries are good for 5 years on a daily usage.

One person I know used dental floss to remove the batteries (going off memory here, but their Elipsa had 2 x 1200mAH batteries).

Isch ok, not sure I want to go that far. I wish there will be a 13" B&W at some point.

Check the motherboard.
Are there any components that are overheating abnormally?
Mine is like that.
The battery is dropping rapidly.
I was just thinking of finding a phone repair shop that could replace it for me.
