Why is my replaced battery only charging once it has been drained?

I replaced my battery a second time after the first stopped charging at all. The second battery only seems to charge once it has run out completely and not while plugged in and being used - I have attached a coconutBattery screenshot. Any ideas?

Thank you. I guess there’s not much I can do about that. ☹️

You have a threshold issue within the charging control logic. Sadly that’s part of the logic board that needs service.

You might want to try the other side ports a try to see if thats better as your system has two Intel JHL6540 Thunderbolt 3 controllers (light Blue marked chips)

Otherwise its within the SMC logic which you could have hit while disconnecting the battery (light Green marked chip)
