Phone (1) Genuine Battery Replacement — Where to find one?

Hey everyone, I’ve been rocking my Nothing Phone (1) for about 2.5 years now. I still love the phone, but the battery has naturally degraded over time — I’m currently sitting at around 75% of the original capacity, and it’s getting harder to make it through the day. I want to replace the battery myself (or take it to a local shop), but I’ve hit a wall finding a genuine spare part. I’ve already tried buying batteries from a couple of online marketplaces, but every single one turned out to be a cheap fake/knockoff with terrible performance. I have already reached out to Nothing Support via email to ask for official channels, but while I wait for their reply, I wanted to ask the community. Has anyone successfully bought an original (or high-quality OEM) battery for Phone (1) online? I am located in Kazakhstan, so I need a store that ships internationally. I’m surely not the first one facing this issue as the Phone (1) gets older. Any links to trusted sellers or advice on how to spot the real deal would be super helpful! Thanks, guys! I actually own two Phone (1) units. While my main device is at 75%, the second one is still holding up well at 93% health because I use it strictly for calls. However, since shipping to my region can be tricky, my plan is to buy two batteries at once — one for the immediate fix and another one to keep as a genuine backup for the second unit when the time comes. So, if anyone knows a legit store, I’m ready to make a bulk order.

I came across a related discussion some time ago and actually shared it in another post here in the community.

It’s based on an experience shared in the Nothing Phone Indonesia Facebook group, where a user mentioned using a Realme C1 BLP729 5000 mAh battery as an alternative replacement for the Phone (1), mainly because official spare parts were difficult to find in my region.

Just to be clear — I’m not recommending this approach, I only shared it as an alternative reference for users who might be facing the same spare part availability issue.

I’ll drop the post link here in case it helps.
