HP Pavilion g6-2208au Notebook PC
Microsoft Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

I understand the HP Pavilion g6-2208au Notebook PC has been retired, but mine still works perfectly except for the reason I replaced it just over a year ago -- severe overheating of the battery. I had to place it on a heat-resistant glass barrier as it was heating my wooden desk above my legs, and in summer I'd have to log off asap because it would burn my face in short order! I do feel I was left at risk by not being notified of the known issue and the resolution -- I had looked for it in HP Support and been told to buy a new battery, which I wasn't able to find a supplier for.

All the years I was navigating that, I did not receive any alert about the battery replacement program. I only saw it in my HP Support account on the new HP notebook, with all 3 of my HP devices showing there. 
I want to use the Pavilion as a no-internet backup, as it has a far better keyboard for long typing sessions. I know HP no longer supports the device, but is it possible to still get the replacement battery? One lying around in the warehouse, maybe?
Then I'd get a local technician to install & safety-test the whole unit for me.
