Hello all,
I am looking for a battery replacement for a Early 2013 macbook pro battery. I found a few options but I wanted to get the community input on what they think is a good battery replacement. Here are some that I found so far:
I don't think that you can get an OEM grade battery because of Apple's strict regulations. But if you know of a place that I can get one, please let me know! My budget is so far $45 - 55 but am willing to pay a bit more for a known good battery
Please let me know what you all think!

Have you tried Apple

I wouldn't take a risk with a third-party product.

I work with electronics so I am pretty confident on installing the battery myself

Ninjabatt are good. After a lot of research I went with them. It's listed as out of stock. Not sure if they'll make more of them. It's also no longer listed on Amazon.
The other good brands are Puredick (who thought of that name?), iFixit and NuPower.
Puredick is in stock. You can slide it into your MBP . I haven't tried them as I went with Ninjabatt. But they were my second choice due to their all around good reviews on various Mac batteries. I went with Ninjabatt as they had a much wider battery portfolio to judge quality off of.
When you do replace the battery. Go with the dental floss method to remove the old one. It's pretty easy and way cleaner than those chemical methods.

I used a Puredick battery for my 2015 13" MBP. No complaints, all went well, and battery seemed fine. However this a just a single anecdote from one person. At least they are a vendor that has been around for a while, unlike many cheap vendors on Amazon that last for a few months before they change their names.Thank you all for the links! Looking at the puredick one

IMO reviews on Amazon need a lot of intelligent sifting. Many of the 5-star reviews are fake, and many 1-star reviews are by idiots who don't know what they are doing and blame their incompetence or unrelated issues on the product.

Yes, that is so ttue. Bought a wifi card for mac pro upgrade and someone was complaining that their bluetooth didn't work when it is stated clearly that for bluetooth to work, you need to connect the D+/D- lines

Just a couple days ago I put one of these into my early 2013 MBP, and I couldn't be happier with the capacity so far, granted I'm only at 3 charge cycles but it seems to be working good, no surprises other than it having more than expected but I'm sure that extra capacity will come down a bit.

"Does anybody know if "EGOWAY" brand is good?"
Batteries -- especially 3rd-party cheap ones -- are a crapshoot.
It may be a "good one". Or... it may not be.
Like Forrest Gump said about a box of chocolates:
"You never know what you'll get..."

Particularly, this one is the most expensive available in Argentina.
