Has anyone used iFixit batteries?

Support

I have an SE second gen, and I want to stretch it a bit more before I update in the next year or two. The battery is about 72% operating capacity, so I'm considering changing it out at home.

Has anyone used iFixit batteries or their battery replacement kits, and if so would you recommend? I haven't done this before, and I'm not sure if I should avoid non-Apple replacement parts (in which case I'd need to just pay for a battery replacement from the Apple store...).

Overall I'm not too concerned about learning to do the replacement so long as the battery is ok to use in my phone. Thanks!
