So there are two batteries in this headset that need to be replaced?

Also, what battery do I purchase and does anyone know a good source to purchase them?

Max battery size: 50x36x9mm

Origina battery: 40x30x8mm

The pcm board can be replacement by old battery module.

Only one battery inside. Not sure why this guide takes appart the whole headset.

All steps&pictures related to right side (step 1, 2 and 4) are misleading and unnecessary when doing just battery replacement.

I ordered replacement on aliexpress.

What part number please and thank you in advance
