Right to Repair

Whether it be electronics, automobiles or medical equipment, the manufacturers should not be able to horde “oem” parts, render your stuff useless if you repair it with aftermarket parts, or hide schematics of their products.

Hi,

I'm looking for a Li-po battery : 3.7V 90mAh

In my country there isn't anymore an electronic shop that can sell it at a reasonable prices.. (taxes etc..)

On Aliexpress I can found them at ~2€ but the postal fee do not make it worth-it.. (~10€)

I travel a lot in Europe (west) so may-be you know still IRL shops where I can buy them ?

Thanks.

I found a similar one (3.7V 100mAh) for 4.80€ (including taxes) in a small components shop in Berlin.

I don't think there are many electronics stores around anymore. I usually either pick something from Aliexpress that has less shipping cost, or buy online: eckstein-shop.de reichelt.de az-delivery.de berrybase.de (But Germany probably doesn't count as West Europe...)

They closed most of their stores, there are only 4 stores left in Germany. And back in the day they used to be pricey, I wouldn't order online unless that has changed in the last years.
