MacBook won't run on battery power

Text:

The battery icon shows an X at all times. I installed a brand new battery and the problem still persists. I tested the new battery on another MacBook and it shows a full charge and works just fine. The light on the power adapter turns from green to red as soon as the battery is installed but still only ever shows an x for the icon. I also tried the smc reset - no luck. Any ideas??
