What is the tape underneath the battery and where to get it?

There is a black tape underneath the battery but on top of the induction coil module. I ripped mine and can't find a replacement because it doesn't come with the back shell or the induction charger, and I can't find it being sold separately or in the parts shop here (it only has the graphite tape for on top of the battery).

Does anyone know what it is or what it's for? It looks similar to the graphite tape on top of the battery but mine ripped into several layers so it seems thicker / different than the battery graphite tape.

If I knew what it was for (heat or maybe magnetic shielding for the induction coil) then I could find a generic and cut it to shape.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Hi @stephen304

There isn't an image to confirm if it is the correct one although the description seems to fit, but search online for G806-04390-01 and see if it is the one you need.

Thanks! I'll give that one a shot and report back

So I got the adhesive in the mail, and unfortunately it appears to be just a small adhesive strip, I assume one of the ones for adhering the battery into the shell, and not the large black pad that tapes over the Qi coil.

It doesn't seem to impact wireless charging or thermals so it's probably fine, but thanks for the help!
