LMP is a Swiss firm, manufacturing in China. it is delivered in fancy package with glue remover and pry tool. Glue remover is pure acetone, not recommended. Got EC / TÜV certificates, does not even try to look like OEM-Apple battery. AHT Test passes with no hardware issues found, system information reveals same serialnumbr as on sticker.
Back side of the board. Note much more advanced design compared to regular knock-offs. Thermal pair is present and balanced charging implemented. Pretty suprised, instead of battery controller it actually uses ARM Microcontroller Atmel samd 10u. This board should not be considered as cheap aftermarket since it implements pretty decent charging scheme with high level of control and cell balancing capability. Quite expensive 300LSE adhesive is probably not the best choice, so i would rather replace it with floam before installing.
