Hello,
As you might probably know some Pixel 6a devices have battery problem. Google addressed this issue by providing a compensation and forced mandatory update. Unfortunately, this mandatory update significantly limits battery lifetime, thus now I have ~0.5-0.75 days of usage insead of 1-1.5 days. In my country I can't receive a compensation (will do that with friend's help) and allegedly Google can't send a replacement battery via mail to me, so I have to find a new one by myself.

The question is how to distinguish the older problematic battery with a newer one? Do they have specific Part Number or Revision Code? Have they even developed a new revision or new unit that won't have the same issue? I don't want to be in the same situation in 2 years or after 375 battery cycles again.

Where are you located? If you're not able to avail Google's replacement program, what does the seller for your phone have to say about it?

You should opt for a replacement battery asap as that could result in a house on fire, no I'm not kidding.

Have they even developed a new revision or new unit that won't have the same issue? I don't want to be in the same situation in 2 years or after 375 battery cycles again.

I'm in Ukraine. The seller simply imported the device from Europe, which is typical as Google doesn't have local store here. I've already tried to contact Google via x.com, but got ghosted for several days already in regards of battery replacement unit information. And I can't seem to find any other contact info.

I know that it is a serious matter, I've already found a good technician who will perform a replacement. He also can provide a replacement battery but I have to be 100% sure it won't cause any similar trouble in future.

Regarding the reddit post, I've look through it briefly, but haven't find any info about battery PN or Revisions yet. Will read it more carefully after the work
