Replaced Battery, now only runs w/ power adaptor

I just replaced my battery using the repair guide here and did everything properly (as far as I’m aware.) When I went to turn it on, it would not turn on. After I plugged it into the charger it turned back on but showed “Battery not charging” and the power source is adaptor.

I reset the SMU and ran the Apple Hardware test but both indicated no issues. Everything runs fine otherwise and I have not noted anything else wrong. It is running off the charger… which makes me thing that isn’t the issue. I even dis/reconnected the battery part inside the computer just to be sure.

Any ideas on what I should do next or how this has been fixed before? I haven’t found any similar issues on this site after doing the battery replacement.

@swagner3 Let’s do some testing of the battery. Download and run coconutBattery and attach a screenshot of the coconutBattery window.

@swagner3 Odd. It says its good, but the darn thing won't charge. Just to be sure, you should get another replacement just in case it is just a faulty replacement battery. iFixit supplies these types of batteries and they have a 1 year warranty on them where you can return them anytime for any reason.

Honestly, it sounds like a bad battery. If I’m not mistaken, the battery has its own board, with protection circuits and so on, maybe it’s damaged/faulty.

I contacted support and they sent a new battery, which has been working great so far!

So my answer would be to contact support and request a new battery.

Thanks all,

Sam
