I ordered a replacement battery for my Lenovo Yoga X1 Gen6 ([product|IF245-350]). Installation was no problem but after the first charge to 100%, I noticed that my laptop wouldn't go to sleep normally: it immediately shut down and then rebooted. The Windows log file showed a 41 kernel error code. After reinstalling the graphic card drivers (as per advice on a Lenovo forum), I used the laptop until the battery was drained. I did notice it went from 50% to 15% in under 15 minutes while just browsing the web. The laptop then shut itself down.
I attached my original 65W Lenovo charger and started to charge the battery but noticed the battery was charging very slowly (at 2W max). After four hours, it had only reached 50%. I then used an Anker 65W charger, but the slow charging problem remained. I decided to reinstall my original Lenovo battery (which has lost 20% of its capacity) and all works well again.
I suppose I have received a faulty battery but is there anything I could check before I ask for an RMA with iFixit?
