HI, I want to ask, is it possible to reuse the removed battery from MBP A1398? The trackpad started creaking mechanically on my MBP Mid2015, so I want to replace it. The problem is that a battery is stuck under it, which must be removed. I watched on YT different videos about battery replacement, but I didn't find any information on whether the used battery could be reused? My battery is in very good condition and I do not want to buy a new one. Thanks.

Should be fine, likely better than any replacement you could get from a third party.

chscag is right.
Perhaps the reason the trackpad is making noise IS BECAUSE the battery is swelling up and pushing against it.

In that case, a new (flat) battery might be enough by itself to "clear up" the trackpad noise.

You need to open it up and take a look inside...
