battery replacement MacBook Pro 16 inch 2019

question for folks here. if apple does a battery replacement of a non butterfly keyboard MacBook Pro, does that also repair the keyboard? My keyboard isn't functioning and its not part of apple repair program. I am wondering if by changing battery it might resolve my issue with keyboard as well. Help is appreciated.

Is there any way to replace the battery if it has gone bad? Is there any way to have the battery of the magic keyboard (A1644) replaced as it is a rechargeable device?

New Magic Keyboard(s) battery drain in 3-4 days. Purchased a new iMac in July; presently running Ventura. I am on my third Magic Keyboard (replaced under warranty by my local store) with the finger touch ID button. Each drains its battery within 3-4 days with little (an hour at most each day) or no usage. I still have my older wireless keyboard without the finger touch button. The battery on this would last at least a couple of months before needing a recharge. So I have been able to compare performance. Charging them both to 100% and using them alternately (or not at all) I can track relative battery drain. Typically after 48 hours the new key board will be at 50% and the old at 98%. After another 24 hours the new will be at 20% and the old at 97%. Another 24 hours and the new keyboard is dead, new at 96%. Almost identical for all three new Magic Keyboards. I have photographed all of these changes to show the store staff. As I am getting bored traveling to the store and getting another 'faulty' replacement has anyone any ideas as to what may be impacting the new keyboards?

Battery and keyboard replacement Several week's ago, I took my MacBookPro (2018) to a Apple Service Center in Austin for diagnosis and repair. At the time, my battery was not in bad enough shape to be replaced, bit I was told tat Apple would replace my battery and keyboard for $249. Today, I made the same nearly 4-hr. round-trip (counting the time at the Apple store) to the Austin Service Center and was told that my battery now should be replaced, bUt Apple will charge me $699 to replace the battery and keyboard. A local repair shop told me that if the battery is replace, Apple has to activate a sensor on the control bar for the computer to be functional. Is there any way to avoid this sensor issue so that I don't have to pay the new price that Apple wants to charge me for replacing the battery and keyboard?
