Apple offers battery replacement at a fixed price for MBP at their service centres, and the price is $129-$199 in the US depending on which model.

I'm not in the US.

I wonder who downvoted.

I'm not in the US either.

Where I live Apple offers the same fixed-price battery replacement service but in local currency.

But if I go to a non-Apple store, but an "approved seller" of Apple products, they will quote a much higher price. I challenged them about this once, and they said it wouldn't be cheaper anywhere else, so I showed them the Apple page and they admitted that was much cheaper and I should go to the Apple store.

I told you about the Apple service in case you were being ripped off and would appreciate knowing about the Apple fixed price service, if you are in a country where they do that.

US $ prices were provided because you quoted $800, presumably US $. Other country prices are on the Apple website with a bit of searching. Look up battery service.

Refund method was asked for, which is rather dependent on country. If you're in a less-likely-for-HN country and asking how to get a refund it would make sense to say which country.

If your device is old they consider it “legacy” and won’t fix. Legacy I think is 5 years.

That's a shame. I'm very happy with my 2013 rMBP, but would like to replace the battery. That's the only thing wrong with it.

People are still recommending second hand 2015 rMBPs as the "last good" ones. It would be a pity if they can't have batteries replaced.

You can DIY or get an independent repairer to do it. How to video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lue6lVWhh4o batteries available on ebay, amazon.

I wonder how much a keyboard replacement is.
