Question Where to order replacement MacBook Battery

[giacona]

Does anyone have any experience with I-Fix it for MacBook battery replacement?

I've heard they do not use OEM batteries and could be 3rd party, so I wanted to ask before I jump in on this. This is for a 2017 Pro /w touch bar.

I have also read good things regarding I-Fix it, so I wanted to get some feedback before I pull the trigger

Thanks

Ever part you order from another site besides Apple is going to be third party, unless they are given specific permission by apple to hold their parts. These outlets will have the "Apple Certified Repair" or "Apple Authorized Repair" badge to signify they can sell and repair apple products with first party parts. So, unless you're willing to pay the Apple Tax to have a certified seller fix it for you, literally every part you buy will not be a genuine replacement part. That being said, I myself have bought many Apple parts from iFixit with great results. Where people go wrong is buying thirty dollar e-waste off E-Bay or Amazon. Outlets like iFixit sell well made replacement parts, and the extra cost is absolutely worth it.
