This business does 5 pieces minimum so a group buy might be workable. I'll be in for 2 for both of my Black Labels.

Thanks. That could be an option. Cannot find how 5 pcs would be? I’m in EU, so import taxes from china could be much. However, if all 5 were sent to Australia, then you might distribute further?

Happy to do so. I can get a quote from them.

Thanks. That could be interesting. Haven't tried to disassemble my BL, but I suppose it is not too difficult? (Some time ago, I tried to ask iFi what they would charge to change the battery, the below is from the answer. I didn’t do anything about at that time, but of course the price of a new battery from CN has to been seen in this context )

The cost breakdown for this would be as follows;
New Battery: €89.85
Service Fee: €17.00
Return Shipping: €15.00
Total: €121.85

I'm still using this on fw5.2, I remember when the updated fw came out people saying 5.2 was the best if not doing mqa, is that still the sentiment?

FWIW: sort of “solved” the battery issue. Noticed (and I should of course have known) that when I connected the BL to my iPad to play from e.g. Roon, it discharged the iPad quite quickly, because I turned on the BL after connecting to the iPad. So the solution was to buy an adapter to the iPad so it can be charged while at the same time charge and transfer music to the BL.
This is fine for me, as I will always travel with the two (including a power bank)
