gear S3battery replacement?

Has anyone seen where you can have the battery replaced on a gear S3 frontier

I had mine done via Samsung service. Cost me about $70. Think there are cheaper options out there though but not sure.

You can buy a battery on Amazon for $40; watch a video on youtube and do it yourself. It looks pretty straightforward and easy, but....I have a lot of experience changing cellphone screens...so I suggest watching some yt videos first,

I got this battery from ebay a couple of weeks ago.

Pretty easy to swap yourself if you're comfortable with this type of work. I watched this YouTube video for reference.

Battery works good and my S3 Frontier is like brand new now.

The one thing I see that can be improved, is to use a nylon spudger when disconnecting the ribbon cables, not a metal screwdriver.

I used ceramic tip tweezers.
