Interesting. Twenty four pounds is only about $30, I think. Not sure how an
international transaction would work from my existing Amazon account. 

There is a rough US equivalent for $84, under
https://www.amazon.com/CIESIA-Replacement-Battery-42T4688-42T4689/dp/B0DDNV3D6B?crid=1GDCAZ54G2VD0&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.DEDqL4tj-JVXiffdITBpkw.A2XkcaikmH5sPa8gHsSHoTFMk2zyd4gwBO72ZzHWMhk&dib_tag=se&keywords=42T4691&qid=1736977404&sprefix=42t4691%2Caps%2C327&sr=8-1

Only 16 ratings of the UK part, none at all for the US part.  
Looks like they're already scarce....

I'm going to save the link and keep watching for a bit. The idea of an
international order makes me a little uneasy. 

Thanks for writing!
