Brand new battery already failing?

Just bought a new MacBook Pro battery from iFixit the other day and it seems to be failing already. Last night the battery icon was red and was stuck at 100% and the battery itself held no charge. I calibrated the battery and then I left the MacBook on the charger overnight.

Today I checked on the MacBook and the problem still persisted. The battery would hold no charge and the charging percentage would still be frozen at 100%. Here’s a screenshot of the coconutBattery window

This is telling me that the battery is basically a dud & should be returned and replaced. Anybody else that can confirm this so I can start with the return process?

Trevor, I moved your original question directly to the Meta site so the ifixit staff would answer it. It was not deleted. Please wait till Tomorrow when they are back at work for an answer.

Thank you for the clarification Mayer! I was typing that question on the MacBook with the problematic battery and I accidentally yanked the power cord out of the MacBook causing it to shut down. I frankly didn't remember posting the original question, so feel free to delete this one at your will.
