2019-0106, Battery replacement = charge, but crash if not on AC

Simple battery replacement/update,…

Battery installed fine, charges when AC power connected,…got up to 100% charge

But then,….

===

Issue:

As soon as AC is removed, laptop “dies/shuts off”

Reinstalled previous battery = no issues

Double checked that I have the right model number = battery model number is same on both old” and “new” battery

===

—-> Any ideas what is going on?

Perhaps a defective replacement battery?

Thank you,

David

You can try downloading Coconut battery and check if you can get any additional information on battery status but I’d agree with you, probably a faulty replacement, not so unusual with third party batteries.
