1 month old battery not holding charge
Hi all,
I have replaced a battery on my 2011 MBP with the battery recommended from iFixit. Everything went well during installation and right after, the battery worked perfectly. After installation of the battery, I depleted power below 10%, then charged fully un-interrupted. I thought everything was good to go.
I then left town for one month and left the computer behind at home. When I left, i forgot to turn it off, and the laptop was closed in sleep mode, and unplugged from the charger. It seems the battery depleted completely.
Now the situation I have is, I can only power the computer on with the power cable plugged in. When it is not plugged in the battery gauge on the side of the computer, does not light up at all when the button is pressed. When the computer is plugged in, the battery gauge lights up completely when the button is pressed.
In the tool bar at the top of the screen after start up, the battery condition says to "replace now". but I just bought this battery, just over one month ago. This battery should be good still.
If anyone has any other troubleshooting I can do, I'd greatly appreciate it! Also if there is any other info you need, I will post.
Thanks!
