Battery Is Not Charging with a New Battery Replacement

テキスト:

I spend  3 days reading about “Battery Is Not Charging”, I found similar posts but I want explain my issue because I found differences between mine and others.

I care a lot this Mac, no water spill, never hit the floor, no outer damage, looks like new outer and inside.

***History:***

* The original battery that comes with after 8 years starting to show the Service Battery Warning and start to down from 100% to 1%, slowly by 1%.
* When hits 1%, mac start to run slow (yes I read everywhere that is normal, due the mac needs the battery working to run normally).
* I open it and yes surprise! battery is inflated, very risky (fool me to not change it over all this years) also for that reason the trackpad feel hard to use.
* Ok, time for buy a brand new battery.
* I remove the old battery and replace with a brand new, SIMPLO brand (it seems is the same brand as the original).
* New Battery start at 60% (I read is normal that new battery don't comes with the 100%).
* Mac runs speed normally with the battery at 60%.
* Service Battery Warning disappear but Battery Is Not Charging.
* The new battery start to down from 60% 59% 58... (of course because is not charging).
* New Battery goes to 1% and yes Mac runs slow again (normal behavior).
* Conclusion: New Battery Not Charging

***My Tests:***

* MacSafe Adapter, I test this 85W with a MacBook Pro 13 (need 65W) and an Air (need 45W) and works well, charge both machines. My question here, and adapter decrease the power charger for some reason and not charge the 85W but can charge the 65W and 45W? Maybe stupid question, due I think adapters works or not works but never charge less. Problem? I don't have other 85W adapter to test, but again!!! It seems is not the adapter the problem, due charge well the other 2 machines.
* When I charge the affected Mac, green light start but some seconds later turns orange. So both lights works, I don't have any issue like many others that I read that one light not turn on or things like that.
* I do a lot SMC and NVRAM with the machine power off, with the machine without battery, with battery, after many hours power off.
* I try to battery drains to 0% to try to calibrate etc.
* I clean the Magsafe connectors with alcohol, I don't see any corrosion, actually they look clean.
* Mac Diagnostics show the battery not charge:
* Battery on Coconut says that battery is fine but not charge.

Overall, what I can do more!!! Maybe is the MagSafe port damaged or the motherboard? I feel those two are not the problem, why:

When the original battery exist, yes says, service battery but! Sometimes down to and others up, until gone to 0%, so it seems the charge works on the old battery, but the old battery can live anymore due is 8 year old.

Maybe I run wrong the SMC? I even run the power button only without battery like this guy says: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRYIMDQxunI the problem is when I plug the MagSafe the computer start, on the video the guy computer don't start on.

I'm on Big Sur by the way, but was the same problem on Mojave, I silly upgrade trying that the upgrade fix something but no.

Any other test? I need recover this Mac until the new Mini M1 Pro or M2 comes out to retire this MacBook Pro, I'm sick of laptops!

Thanks

''I can’t reply this as a comment due it seems I can’t add screenshots on the comments.''

***Screenshots***

***OLD BATTERY[br]
***I don’t have Coconut screenshots with the old original battery, but I have some screenshot from the system info that I take when the old original battery was inside the machine ***(Cycle Count: 240 / Service Battery Warning / Battery Is Not Charging).***

[image|2555356]

[image|2555358]

[image|2555359]

***NEW BATTERY***

Screenshot the same day that I plug the new battery DIC 23, 2021, as you see the battery comes with around 60% of charge, later down to 59… etc. this is when goes to 46%, but I think this prove that new battery works (when is charged of course).

[image|2555371]

Here the screenshots after your steps, Today JAN 2, 2022 some minutes ago  ***(Cycle Count: 2 / NO Service Battery Warning / STILL Battery Is Not Charging).***

[image|2555361]

[image|2555357]

[image|2555360]

Same problem, still not charging, always at 1%,

note: by the way, I leave this unplugged for hours and never goes to 0%, always show 1%, I just say…

Even coconut battery is good but not charging.

I feel with your guide, you want reset the old battery to refresh the new one? is correct? well I think the machine read the new one? is refresh it?

Is a shame that I don’t have coconut screenshot of the old battery, because I see coconut show the manufacture and serial. I remember the old battery brand was SIMPLO (I think) and the new says SIMPLO too.

Also why the NEW battery has AGE 362 days, if it’s new? I just say…

=== Update (01/07/2022) ===

***Update:*** I carried the computer to a local repair service, they replace the new battery with an used (just to try due at the moment they don't have batteries for my model) and voila! the thing works, normal speed again and the charge again![br]

***So it's simple, it seems the problem is just the new battery, I mean I just need a good new-new battery, even when coconut says “good”, the new battery won’t charge.***

I talk again with the store that sold me the new battery and they say that they can give me a new one on monday, so I'll go on monday to try a new one.

But! I just have two questions:

# I bet they give me a new one exactly like the current new, same model:  A1494 /  A1618

[image|2558261]

the battery looks exactly like this: https://www.amazon.com/Replacement-Battery-MacBook-Version-2013%EF%BC%8CMid/dp/B08TTNTQQD/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=a1398+battery&qid=1641613834&sprefix=a13%2Caps%2C299&sr=8-3

I see there’s a empty space on the bottom.

even the ifix store, the 2013 cover that empty space:

[image|2558263]

and the 2015 have the space:

[image|2558264]

so my point is: Maybe they give a new battery that not fit for the 2013 model ??? So Amazon title is wrong too??? Maybe that battery with the empty space don’t work on my machine?

# and my last question, what’s the most trusted battery brand to get a good one? the ifix model?

if the re-replacement on monday don’t works so, maybe that model don’t works on my 2013, so I need to buy the ifix it or the suggested brand here.

=== Update (01/10/2022) ===

ok, I got a replacement of the new battery and this works! (at least for now and I touch wood! I hope last at least some months until the new mac mini comes out to buy it and retire this mac).

here’s the info of the new battery:

[image|2559970]

[image|2559971]

possibly a last question, I need re-calibrate it? of this way:

1. Fully charge the Mac (to 100%, green light)[br]
2. Continue charge for 2 Hours (can use it during this time)[br]
3. After 2 hours... unplug it, don't turn off, let it down to low battery warning, wait to goes to sleep, lastly turn it off.[br]
4. Wait 5 hours (longer is fine).[br]
5. Connect the power adapter and fully charge the Mac.[br]
The battery is now fully calibrated!

that is recap of: https://www.lifewire.com/calibrate-macbook-air-battery-2260856

I’m on the step 2 right, due gladly goes to 100% and now I see the green light!

Battery Is Not Charging with a New Battery Replacement

テキスト:

I spend  3 days reading about “Battery Is Not Charging”, I found similar posts but I want explain my issue because I found differences between mine and others.

I care a lot this Mac, no water spill, never hit the floor, no outer damage, looks like new outer and inside.

History:

The original battery that comes with after 8 years starting to show the Service Battery Warning and start to down from 100% to 1%, slowly by 1%.

When hits 1%, mac start to run slow (yes I read everywhere that is normal, due the mac needs the battery working to run normally).

I open it and yes surprise! battery is inflated, very risky (fool me to not change it over all this years) also for that reason the trackpad feel hard to use.

Ok, time for buy a brand new battery.

I remove the old battery and replace with a brand new, SIMPLO brand (it seems is the same brand as the original).

New Battery start at 60% (I read is normal that new battery don't comes with the 100%).

Mac runs speed normally with the battery at 60%.

Service Battery Warning disappear but Battery Is Not Charging.

The new battery start to down from 60% 59% 58... (of course because is not charging).

New Battery goes to 1% and yes Mac runs slow again (normal behavior).

Conclusion: New Battery Not Charging

My Tests:

MacSafe Adapter, I test this 85W with a MacBook Pro 13 (need 65W) and an Air (need 45W) and works well, charge both machines. My question here, and adapter decrease the power charger for some reason and not charge the 85W but can charge the 65W and 45W? Maybe stupid question, due I think adapters works or not works but never charge less. Problem? I don't have other 85W adapter to test, but again!!! It seems is not the adapter the problem, due charge well the other 2 machines.

When I charge the affected Mac, green light start but some seconds later turns orange. So both lights works, I don't have any issue like many others that I read that one light not turn on or things like that.

I do a lot SMC and NVRAM with the machine power off, with the machine without battery, with battery, after many hours power off.

I try to battery drains to 0% to try to calibrate etc.

I clean the Magsafe connectors with alcohol, I don't see any corrosion, actually they look clean.

Mac Diagnostics show the battery not charge:

Battery on Coconut says that battery is fine but not charge.

Overall, what I can do more!!! Maybe is the MagSafe port damaged or the motherboard? I feel those two are not the problem, why:

When the original battery exist, yes says, service battery but! Sometimes down to and others up, until gone to 0%, so it seems the charge works on the old battery, but the old battery can live anymore due is 8 year old.

Maybe I run wrong the SMC? I even run the power button only without battery like this guy says: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRYIMDQxunI the problem is when I plug the MagSafe the computer start, on the video the guy computer don't start on.

I'm on Big Sur by the way, but was the same problem on Mojave, I silly upgrade trying that the upgrade fix something but no.

Any other test? I need recover this Mac until the new Mini M1 Pro or M2 comes out to retire this MacBook Pro, I'm sick of laptops!
