If you have the battery replaced with a genuine Apple battery, by Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider, I doubt if that would keep you from trading in the phone.
If an unauthorized shop works on the phone, the phone is likely to detect that a non-Apple battery is installed and that might well reduce trade-in value, or keep you from getting any trade-in credit at all.
