Well fuck. A lot of the OG decks are getting into battery replacement time, this is unfortunate if they really are discontinuing parts. I can’t blame valve to stop producing the older hardware but hopefully ifixit can work with them to line up reputable third party suppliers.
I’m confident that third-party batteries will come along in short order. I remember the early days when it took a week of research to find a “compatible” SSD replacement; a year later, scads of SKUs were being marketed as such, and at better prices.

Well, It will be much cheaper to source the battery replacement than any SSD for the next few years, that is for certain.
