In many cases a battery replacement = dead.

Im unsure about the 2012 MBP (not having had one), but if its an internal battery, battery death usually means user unfixable, for most users.

It’s not supposed to be user replaceable, but there are plenty of kits and YouTube videos available on how to do it.

Kits and YT videos pretty much always means "beyond the average consumer", meaning either paying a repair shop hundreds of euros in labour/profits, or just replacing the device.
