https://support.apple.com/mac/repair https://support.apple.com/mac/repair It costs $249 for a 2019 15" MBP battery (not 15', not sure they ever made them that big, GP's laptop may be special). GP's issue is that Apple, per their story, wanted to replace the keyboard and trackpad as well and wanted to charge more on top of the battery replacement.

I got the cost confirmed by two different repair shops. They don't officially replace the battery only, but the whole top case assembly replaced with a cost of something ~€750 in 2021. I checked the emails we exchanged.

  The part is the same, but the price changes depending on the cause code entered into GSX; if it's sold as a battery replacement, the cost of the replacement topcase is much less than if you spilt a drink on the keyboard. The AASP was screwing you over, either deliberately or by ignorance.

  Batteries are a replaceable component, apple doesn't make it easy but it's not particularly harder than any other device. It's not soldered in and doesn't touch the top-case. Now: if the battery expanded and caused internal damage (bending the top case and damaging the keyboard) then what you said makes sense, but that's a pretty glaring omission if so.

    If the battery expanded and caused internal damage after 2 years of use then there is clearly a design issue.
