Expense category in TurboTax: where to put notebook battery replacement, USB power adapter, etc.?

For self-employed business purposes only, which expense category in TurboTax should I choose for claiming the expenses to buy a laptop battery replacement and some data/computing peripherals (such as USB Type-C power adapter / USB multi-adapter, etc.), which cost between CAD80 and CAD150 for each item? My initial thought was "Office Expenses," given that these items are of small value.

These might fit better on Line 8811 – Office stationery and supplies, which is for  items the business used to provide goods or services. Line 8810 – Office expenses is for small items such as pens, pencils, paper clips, stationery, and stamps.
