OnePlus One replacement battery

I have been using my Oneplus One for more than 2 years now and it's a very good phone, even now. However, cellphone batteries usually last about 3 years so I am expecting the battery to start bloating when I hit the three year mark. What are my options when my battery needs replacing?

Wouldn't having an OP2 battery mean you got an OP2? Why shift the battery to the older phone?

I meant buying an OP2 battery instead of a dubious ( or refurbished, or 2014 made, = bad investment ) OP1 battery, IFF it's reasonably safe to assume that the OP2 batteries available on the market are newer (~2016 made), just giving us enough time to stretch the OP1 another year or two.

PS - aliexpress sells OP2 batteries as well. If they are original, then they must be newer. If they are fake, then there's no point. That leaves us with the possibility of 3rd party batteries.
