Why isn’t my replacement battery charging?
After replacing my battery my laptop does not power on without an external power adapter. The status icon indicates a battery level of 1 percent and no charging. I’ve tried coconut battery and the results are strange, it says my battery has one cycle count and manufactured in 2016; charging current is zero. The power shuts off immediately if I disconnect the power adapter.
I have attempted the following.
- SMC reset
- Leaving the computer plugged in powered off overnight with the adapter.
- Connecting an external power brick to the powered off computer (screen periodically flashes with red charging indicator).
- Checking the data cable connection (verified cable is fully seated with a continuity tester).
Measuring the voltage on the connections labeled +/- I found about 2.2V which is comparable to the voltage on the original fully drained battery (2.18V).
Are there any other things I can try to troubleshoot or get the new battery to work?
I stripped a screw so the new non-working battery is stuck in the laptop for now..
