It sounds like the battery connector to me. Here is a good video about a similar problem. I'm not sure about the battery percentage though.

There is a chance you could have damaged a charging IC when disconnecting the old battery. Its also possible that a charging IC was bad, which led you to believe your battery was bad. I'd bet money on one of the charging IC's being at fault.
