My 15 inch MBP has been saying for a few months I should replace my battery soon. I did some research online and found that I can replace the battery myself.

Whats a good battery to buy and are there any good tutorials on how to replace it?

I have model 5,3.

It's a fairly simple replacement. Just make sure you buy an OEM apple battery, there are alot of apple knockoffs. This site is legit and has a full guide on how to do it.
