Chosen Solution
Hi, I have recently replaced the battery in my 2015 MacBook Air and have been having some issues that I can’t find any information about online. MacOS says ‘Battery Detected: No’, but says the battery health is ‘Normal’. When I unplug the MagSafe connector, the Mac goes into sleep mode instantly so I can only use it when plugged in. But, I can unplug the MacBook Air when in Recovery Mode and it doesn’t turn off instantly. The MagSafe 2 status light is always orange. Different things can happen each time I boot. Sometimes it acts like there is no battery at all, sometimes it says the battery is at 0% and not charging and then sometimes, it says the battery is at 0% and there is no power adapter plugged in. One more thing that I have noticed is that straight after the startup sound, I can unplug the MacBook Air and it won’t turn off until it almost finishes loading and then it will instantly sleep. It is a 13” 2015 MacBook Air and the replacement battery is a genuine Apple battery with only 312 cycles. Hopefully there is a solution for this. Thanks Edit: I have also noticed that even when there is no battery inside of the MacBook, the MagSafe light still turns orange when plugged in like it is charging. Not 100% sure but could it be an IO board issue? Coconut Battery Screenshot:
Found some random information about my charger and battery. Can this be useful?
Lets get some diagnostics, download and install this gem of an App CoconutBattery. We need to snapshots one with the MagSafe connected and a second with it removed that way we can see what the system does. Once you do post them here for us to see Adding images to an existing question
