Somewhat dodgy but got the job done!
I came across a set of thrown-out earbuds in Japan, and after cleaning them I decided to try to use them on the way home. However, I realized that they died relatively quickly, after only 1 hour of playback. I opened them up and discovered some Z55 batteries were needed to fix these buds. I found that they were selling this exact brand of Zenipower batteries on this website, and upon ordering them, they sent me to PayPal to complete the transaction. There's no option to directly use a credit card (good I suppose, but a little uncertain if the PayPal site they send me to is legit). After this, I was abruptly redirected back to the site after a brief thank-you page, with little-to-no order confirmation pages verifying my order was processed successfully. I did receive a confirmation email with no way to view my order online, and I was charged through PayPal, but no shipping or courier tracking information was available, which was rather disconcerting. I knew it was a gamble, but I ended up finally getting the package after ordering the batteries 17 days ago on the 1st. I did the swap-out, and after plugging in the charging case, both of the earbuds lit up, so for now it seems like the batteries work. I just wish there was more communication between the customer and the website.
