At that point just get an unofficial replacement, they're $40-50 on eBay right now. The iFixit partnership is nice, but if they're just going to inflate prices then they're not doing anyone the service they think they're doing. I've generally liked iFixit and I like their toolkits, but if they aren't going to be competitive with pricing then don't buy from them.

Technically it just needs voltage. It just so happens to get it from a battery
