New iFixit Battery Not charging

I replaced my factory battery with a new iFixit battery. The new battery had 70% when installed, I allowed it to die and now I put it to charge and it stays at 2%. If I unplug the computer it turns off and has to reboot.

Is this a good question?

Sounds like your battery is not charging. I would suspect the mag-safe board right off the bat. What was happening with your old battery? Please download and install and run Coconut Battery then post your results so we can get a better idea of what is going on.

Well it shows to be a failed battery, which is unusual for a battery with only two cycles but it does happen. I would request a replacement.

Whats up with battery failures on iFixit batteries? this is probably the 2nd one i've seen today...

Right now I don't know if it is the battery. Looks like it was run for one cycle to test it before you got it. We won't know till you try a second one. It can very well be something else.
