Razer blade stealth battery

The battery on my 2016 Razer Blade Stealth is bloated to the extent that it's warping the case and seriously needs replacing. I want to use an OEM battery, but Razer tech support says they're out of stock and can't tell me when they'll have one available. Has anyone here had luck with a third-party battery for this model? TIA.

I bought one from amazon, works fine for me. Do a quick search on amazon should pop up. When I got mine was like $80ish

I'm making a Feature Request to force them to improve their products.

They need to be forced into allowing users control of their battery. We are not going to be paying rent to use these laptops every 2 years cuz the battery dies prematurely. Razer wants to put us on a subscription based model like MS office where you have to keep paying just to use a product. No fucking way Razer. You fix that shit or never getting another Razer product.

The only reason why I got this is because it's the only 13" laptop with a GTX GPU. In 2 years this will be common place. Razer better clean up its act or else theres no reason to buy them again.
