replacement battery (from ifixit) charge initially, then after a day or so showed dead. I did the shift/control/option/power reset which worked. After another day or so battery showing dead, not fixed by reset. Is there a way to test the battery? Is there some other possible problem? Update (07/22/2018)
Here is that report. today’s report 7/23: charged to 73%
I’d suggest downloading Coconut battery and take a couple of screenshots to enclose to your question and let us see how battery condition shows within the Mac logic: https://www.coconut-flavour.com/coconutb…
