Can you still purchase batteries for the 2015 MBP?

I have a 2015 MacBook Pro where the battery has started to degrade. Will Apple still sell me a battery for it? I'd rather go through them and get an OEM battery if possible but wasn't sure if they still offer them. Thanks!

Looks like the battery from ifixit costs $110 (plus shipping).

For that money, I'd pay the $200 for Apple to do the job (and get a [short] warranty along with it, as well)...

Agreed. If you put any value on your time, you are better off having Apple do it. Plus the warranty

I lost interest in replacing the battery myself when the instructions started talking about putting on gloves and masks to protect yourself from the fluild used to dissolve the glue holding in the battery and that it takes 2-3 hours.

Repair sites constantly piss and moan about the glued-together top case, but I don't mind it TBH. I personally LIKE the ability to get a new top case, keyboard, and trackpad at the ~3 year mark when taking the machine in for a flat-fee battery service.
