Hello iFixit community. I am having an issue with my Early 2015 13" Macbook pro. I installed a new iFixit battery using the iFixit guide with no issues at all. The battery worked amazingly and the computer was like new again. All of a sudden the computer wouldn’t charge and won’t recognise the battery anymore. The charger stays on orange and I cant use my laptop unless its plugged in with the charger. I have reset the SMC and downloaded coconut battery with no luck. There is a screenshot below from coconut battery for your reference:
I have used my laptop everyday for about 3 weeks since installing the battery with no issues until now. Is the new battery faulty? Please help as this is my work and personal computer and I go overseas in a couple of weeks for work. Thank you, Jai
Sounds like the battery control board is dead! Ask Ifixit for a replacement battery
Definitely a bad battery. Check the voltage a battery board connecors if you are getting 12V or More than logicboard is good. it happens some time with aftermarket batteries.
