Thank you!

I don't have experience--I would probably try to get a real one. I'm also a big proponent of getting batteries replaced. I know this all costs money, but if you like and are using this computer, make it nice!

I've got this idea that third-party batteries are mostly crap and die very fast, but it's based on ≈10 year old experience (although the last official battery on my iPhone SE 2016 was the same)

I had the battery in my 2014 Macbook Air replaced by a ubreakifix in Chelsea (New York City) around two years ago, and it's still going strong.
