Will you ever sell spare batteries?

As the title says.
My Jolla has been dead due battery for a year now, and there are no Sailfish devices to buy on the market (apart from vaporware announcements about crappy low-end india phones that likely never get released in europe anyway), so are you at least planning to sell some spare batteries for the unlucky ones who bought Jolla? How hard can it be to order bunch of batteries from some random chinese factory, I don't get it. Having user-replaceable battery was one of the big selling points for me, but guess I got fooled hard.
No one lied, you fooled yourself by not understanding what you are reading - the battery is user replaceable, meaning it can be easily removed from the handset by the user, unlike say, the Nokia N9's battery was classed as non-user-removable or similar words.
There are a plethora of pattern part batteries you can use for now (I personally don't believe Jolla will be selling spares any time soon, just look at the shop, empty apart from crappy mapcrapshagbags!) of which I am currently using a Polarcell battery that was destined for the HTC310 - I have had absolutely ZERO problems with the operation of the battery and at like £10 (well, was when I got one, now they are £13!), I cannot complain!
You ask; "how hard can it be to get a bunch of batteries from random China supplier?", well, it isn't!, so why don't you, cut out the middle man, bite the bullet and get a pattern part battery, like the one I'm using bought via eBay; http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PolarCell-Battery-HTC-Desire-310-D310N-B0PA2100-BA-S960-Battery-/391236335840?hash=item5b1780b8e0:g:AuEAAOSwDNdViou5

Manatus ( 2016-05-13 19:15:26 +0300 )editTwo solutions are possible:
1) Jolla orders a bunch of batteries in China and sells them.
2) Jolla opens their closed closet and reveals the entire specification for the batterie. So people can use it to order matching items in China.
Both can be to the benefit of Jolla. And to the benefit of all Jolla users (fooled by managers that should have learned more about responsibility and long term demand) Both did not happen.
Open the specs, please!
Jolla shows they really don't care. Well, it's the economy, stupid. Do never count on my trust again, folks!
