You said OEM - was it from Apple? Laptop batteries have been know to be faulty right out of the box, especially cheap Chinese knock-offs. Apple would exchange batteries yet again or should be able to guarantee the issue is not the battery. If it wasn't an Apple battery talk to your vendor again.

What does System Information (power) have to say about the state of the battery? Does it recognize it's there, does it think it's charging?
