Battery not charging after replacement

Hi Dan,

I will attempt disconnect and reconnect the battery cable. Do not believe it was damaged during disassembly or re-assembly, but it could be the cable itself as this does not come with the replacement battery (needed to use the old cable), and this is exactly the same error I had prior to changing the battery (could be the old battery was not actually the problem?)

I presume the screenshot shows that the new battery itself is absoutely fine?

If it is the cable, I will order a new one and see if this resolves. Out of interest, what are the next steps to investigating the charging logic on the main logic board?

@Richard Crampton - The CoconutBattery results is perplexing!

Some of the data which comes from the onboard micro controller within the battery (the little logic board attached to it) is finding its way to the SMC services (Like the temp 19.3℃). But for some reason the current charge is zero!

I would start off replacing the cable and then see where you are. If that didn't alter things then its something within the logic board charging logic.

@danj thanks for the feedback. Interestingly, CoconutBattery is also reporting that the new battery is 1,281 days old - would that be correct? Not sure if the batteries fixit sell as part of the kit are refurbished (which would make sense), or if this could be related...

@Richard Crampton - iFixit does not sell used or refurbished batteries!

Did you replace the cable?

@danj My apologies, I did not mean to cause any offense! I am waiting on the replacement cable to arrive. The question was more around the fact that CoconutBattery is showing the new battery as follows (as per my screenshot):

Manufacturer: DSY

Manufacture date: 2017-06-12

Age: 1,281 days

Will see if that changes at all with the new cable once it arrives.
