Alright. I have just put my OLD battery back in. It gradually charges and discharges literally on my eyes. Changes are reflected respectfully on the battery charge indicator. I understand that this picture doesn't show sh%t, but those "filters for the gas gauge line next to the battery connector" are the microscopic silver cylinders right next to the connection and I guarantee that none of them look not any tiny bit damaged... I'm calling it a battery and ask for a replacement. May the force be with me.
When prying, make sure you do it from the TOP or far TOP RIGHT corner using ONLY a spudger, and NOT like it is shown here on the picture.
There is a component next to the battery connector that is easily torn off the board if you're not careful. It's a common mistake made by somebody who have never done the repair before. This will make it so the phone looks like it's charging but only ever discharges. The component is the filter for the gas gauge line which is directly to the right of the battery connector and is extremely hard to see. They look like a tiny-tiny silver cylinders and you would need a microscope to actually be able to distinguish them.
Oh my God.

Hope this helps.
