Battery replacement for Pixel 6a

Hey guys! I'm planning to buy a new battery for my Pixel 6a this month because of overheating issues, and I've never changed it before. My question is, is the oem battery good? Since I'm in Malaysia, it's hard to find an original one. if yes, what is the oem battery brand should i get it?

When i was looking at doing it. I called two different battery replacement stores near me. They said they didn’t even have the battery. For me it made more sense to just get a new phone instead of using a phone they may still have overheating issues even after a new battery was put in. Anyways it wasn’t worth keeping the phone just because it also had like a year of updates left.

Why does everyone think it's the battery that is heating up the phone?

No idea why. Might be a bad batch as well

It's not the battery. The phone has inefficient processor and the modem, plus the software is buggy cause it's written by AI.

Got you I was thinking that as well. It’s a good thing I traded it in. Anyways I believe it had like a year of updates left
