So while they look the same, the design of this battery is very unique! Its not a straight Width - Depth - Height battery that the MacBook Pro’s have.
Here Apple did something very new! They terraced the battery into levels sculpting it to the cases curve.
So I don’t recommend trying as the cases are different between the 2015 vs the 2016/17 models.
And besides the price difference is so little is it worth messing up the system or having to still end up buying the correct battery doubling your costs?
