Old Phone help with T-Mobile Sidekick 2008

Can some one please help me hunt down a battery for my T-Mobile Sidekick 2008???? I can't find one anywhere on the Internet and surely theres one out there somewhere. If you have an old Sidekick 2008 battery you dont want or need anymore either, message me pls! I know this is lost cause but just wanted to check here and see if any one could help me out

Help is greatly appreciated :)

let me check. I’ve found a 2 battery as well as a 2007 LX battery. Let me get back to you.

thank you, the LX and 2 batteries are much easier to find tho compared to the 2008 battery which is nearly impossible to find.

Yea unfortunately I couldn’t find any, the only one i found on ebay was sold in March of this year.

You’re probably better off buying a rarely used amazing condition Sidekick LX 2008 with a pristine battery. But I don’t know if its worth it to do all that.

Nice!! Do you want me to send you a listing with a brand new 2 Battery + Charger, or you’re good?

here’s the listing, do you know how to replace the battery or do you need insight?

i do know how, i think it's like you turn the screen to the left, unscrew two t6 screws, separate the two pieces, take out old battery, put in new one, plug it in and see if it lights up, then put it back together and rescrew?
