I bought the battery replacement pack from ifixit for my iPhone 6S and after installing the new battery on my device IOS battery doesn’t seem to read the replacement battery to gauge the performance. Is that normal?
Is this a good question?

Yes, sometimes the newer iOS systems won’t “recognize” a non-Apple component. They’ve done this sort of thing before, and even prevented components from working. As long as your phone is firing up, I’d call it a win.

IFIXIT should add that disclaimer to the product description. Thanks for the reply.

They've carried a number of stories in their newsletter sort of addressing that issue. It's one of the things that Apple does to fight repair shops / self repairs that are done outside of Apple certified locations.
There was even a lawsuit brought against them for bricking displays with an iOS update.
