Great product, price - works perfect - terrible instructions
As I stated, the product is awesome and well worth the money, but there should be a pointer to a YTube video or a website like ifixit to give step by step directions on how to do the removal I used to buy, sell, and repair used Macs a few years ago and remember running into issues with these battery installations. The problem is not really the install , but the prep for it. Removing the old battery is a real pain in the butt. Not only is it segmented into 5 squares that are only held together at one end, they are literally glued down to the bottom of the top case as well as some components that can be broken or damaged when trying to pry and manipulate the old battery off. Be extra careful around the trackpad ribbon cable. The battery is glued to it and must be taken off very carefully to avoid breaking it. Also, it’s important that many installers recommend using a glue removal agent (like acetone or alcohol) from a dropper or squeeze bottle to help loosen the glue and prevent tearing the plastic battery membrane. No where in the instructions does it mention using a glue remover nor does the kit provide any. I think this is an important omission. Tearing the battery could be very dangerous- especially to someone who does not understand the risks associated with it. In general, if you are at all squeamish with doing a ‘hard’ installation on a Mac, consider taking it to a pro.

Works well for MacBook Pro A1707
I bought a battery for A1707 but it was not recognized by my MacBook, meaning the battery was defective. Frustrated by the result, I gave it a try for this one. This one turned out to be functional. I still need a few full charges and drains to test how well this battery can hold the power, but so far the computer says it will last 4-5 hours after a full charge. Sounds about right.UPDATE: I have been using the computer for about one week since the battery was changed. The charging speed is fast, takes around 1 hour to be fully charged. The battery holds the power well. With battery saver on, it lasts around 4 hours. Not bad at all.

My feedback
The product was great. The tools provided me with everything I needed. Apple would have charged 250, so basically, counting work, research, etc., I saved 190 dollars with 3.5 hours of my own work. I share image of my MacBook Pro before adding the final 10 screws. The other image shows what happens when acetone gets on any of the technology casing (other than the compartment behind the trackpad where battery is stored). The drops spilled that compromised the carbon color did NOT weaken the casings. However, just showing you a reason to take it slow. It is important to not spill acetone, and it is even MORE important to not pierce battery that you are removing.In the end, it was very fulfilling that I did this on my own. If I went through Apple, I would have been out of work for a week, since I work for a .org cybersecurity company, using MY OWN equipment. Feel free to find my on the interwebs with any tech QQs.

Perfect fit
Took me less than an hour. All holes lined up. Two sided tape was in good shape. I don’t know how long the battery will last yet, but I would buy it again at this point.

Works, but really not the same dimension as the original
Well, the primary reason I bought it is because it came with all the tools. However in hindsight, it was a bad idea, because this battery pack truly doesn’t have the same dimension as the original. In fact even the power cable is not aligned properly. The battery screw didn’t fit perfectly either and it took a while to make it fit. And in the process of I may have broken the trackpad cable. Now I have the computer power up and the battery charges but the keyboard and track pads do not work. I’m just hoping that I am to get the trackpad and keyboard fixed by replacing with a new cable. Not really sure at this time to get good state of charge from this one.I would just advice to not buy this and look for something else.

Works great.
The laptop works great and the battery hold a charge just as it used to. Installing it was not easy when dealing with a small laptop, but be careful when installing and it works.

The tools are weak
The included screwdrivers stripped out when I tried to use them to remove the back cover. I had to order a S2 P5 bit to remove the back cover on my 2016 MacBook Pro. The product details don’t provide any details on the included screwdrivers. I’m guessing they are only to be used on the screws that need to be removed to replace the battery and not the back cover. Im now waiting for my T3 & T4 bits to arrive so I can remove the battery. In summary. You will need a good quality S2/P5 bit to remove the crack cover. It would also be advisable to buy T3 T4 bits in case the included tools strip out.
