[Help] Free Pixel 4a battery replacement? (feddit.org)

submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by Teppichbrand@feddit.org to c/degoogle@lemmy.ml

So Google decided to swap out batteries for free on Pixel 4a phones. I have two of them running LineageOS without Google, but I'd really like some fresh batteries. But I don't know if Google will accept my phone. Did anyone already try to get the free replacement? How did you do it and how did it work?

Check your device's IMEI.

You can tell which battery you have physically by the number next to the QR code. 8230015901 is ATL (good) and 8230020501 is LSN (bad). If you're replacing your battery, make sure it's ATL.

adb shell cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/serial_number

(Or just run the above in termux without the adb shell part)

If you bought your phone second hand, and haven't registered it with Google, then chances are that no replacement is possible.

I got mine from a secondhand phone shop, flashed Lineage. I tried to fill out the google form of Impacted Devices, but they told me that my phone wasn't registered with that google account.

So, I dont think there's much we can do.

Might depend on where you are but maybe your warranty is void..?
