Recently my MBP 2015 couldn’t boot because of the dead battery. I asked authorized repair centre and they quoted 400EUR as they need to order whole topcase. This is such a ripoff from Apple. Almost no one ships batteries cross border now. Finding a good replacement is almost an impossible task. The only thing I want the battery to be safe (not catching on fire or damaging my MBP)

I'm a little puzzled. I went on amazon uk where I happened to be and searched "macbook pro battery 2015" and got dozens of results, some with 5* reviews and from reputable companies like Sloda for example. Prices around 70 EUR. I swapped my 2013 Air battery the other day which takes about 2 mins. Not sure how hard it is on the 2015 pro.

I bought the so called 5* battery. It seems good but it degrades quickly after few charges. People review mostly in the first week (battery works and seems good), but the battery will lose original capacity in few weeks. If you read carefully you will find these reviews. In my case I am down 10% capacity after 11 cycles. PS: Battery is a sensitive item and cannot be shipped by plane. This explains the cross border problems.

I got mine replaced under a recall, maybe yours is eligible too?

Unfortunately not. I was hoping for it.
