I was not quick enough to buy a genuine Jolla battery so I tried with batteries of an old Nokia phone, ref. BL-5C (850 mAh). Not very convenient but it's working. I will keep this dirty hack in my bag, just in case.

The battery needs to be adjusted a little bit (need to cut a small part) and it's a little thicker than the Jolla one but nevertheless, the cover can be easily closed.

In red, the location of the plastic wedges I made to secure this small battery.

Anyway if that is really the case. They should tell us a fixed date when we can order spare batteries. It shouldn't be so difficult to produce enough batteries.
it's not only about "industrial" / manufacturing availability
they would have inventory with spare batteries and they can't afford that - thus keep it as minimal as possible

Mmh but would it be a problem to collect orders from cutomers for a few weeks, and then produce/order the batteries ?! Can't be that complicated ...

They stock the phones. I am pretty sure that costs more.

Some users on TJC have discovered that the HTC Desire 310 battery is an exact match for the Jolla battery.
