So Google decided to swap out batteries for free on Pixel 4a phones. I have two of them running LineageOS without Google, but I’d really like some fresh batteries. But I don’t know if Google will accept my phone. Did anyone already try to get the free replacement? How did you do it and how did it work?

    I have used the page linked to in the comments. But that just said that they received my request - no indication if I had an affected device or not. Also for my jurisdiction I cannot get the free battery replacement, just the money or store credit.

    I still have to hear back from them.

        I already did that. It doesn’t change the fact, that a normal user will not do that and google will just not tell you straight up.
