Mudita Kompakt battery replacement

[mattimus]

Hello, I am on the brink of pre-ordering the Kompakt but have two questions about the battery.

1. You have said in these forums that you cannot sell the battery separately from the phone. Is the battery proprietary or something that any cell phone repair shop in the US will have?
2. If it is proprietary, when it comes time for battery replacement is there a Mudita service center in the US or would I need to mail the phone to Poland?
   I really want to plan ahead as I plan to use my next phone for a very long time. Thank you for answering my questions.

Kompakt repairability

@jfoigjboiwjefaij Only we can replace the battery. It’s a bit more complicated than just buying a battery & swapping it out. I’m not sure if you know, but lithium batteries are classed as dangerous goods, that’s why their transportation needs to be well monitored to ensure safety and minimize potential risks during transportation. The regulations regarding the power and quantity of cells and batteries you can ship changes regularly. And it even changes from country to country. Not just EU & out…

@mattimus We are evaluating all the possible options for Mudita Kompakt, but what @kirkmahoneyphd has linked is correct at this moment. Shipping batteries is quite complicated and regulations differ from country to country.
