You may be eligible for a FREE replacement direct from Apple for some 2015 era MacBook Pros!
Apple has determined that, in a limited number of older generation 15-inch MacBook Pro units, the battery may overheat and pose a fire safety risk. Affected units were sold primarily between September 2015 and February 2017 and product eligibility is determined by the product serial number.
Try typing in your serial number on this website: https://support.apple.com/15-inch-macbook-pro-battery-recall
Worth a shot?
Otherwise if you are willing to pay the Apple Tax, I am sure they will gladly take your money at the Apple Store for a new battery?
And as much as everyone seems to hate Apple, they are very much on-topic as they are the most popular *NIX based laptop ever created!

Sorry for off topic posting.
Does anyone know of a place where I can get a battery replaced for an early 2015 MacBook Pro? It gets a very low repairability score, and I don’t want to try it myself.
