Since I get everything I need from Amazon for free, I just checked for my
3-year old free Samsung Galaxy A32-5G to see what batteries exist today.

There are so many hits, I can't count them easily.
Most are 10% larger than the already-huge 5AH batteries in it now.

Here are just some hits (most of which include the tools):
 $15 <https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B51GKBYH>
 $19 <https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D37R1WDS>
 $20 <https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09NW376MS>

If you have the know how, you get a new lease on life for about 20 bucks.
