CPU slow and battery not recognized after battery replacement
I replaced the battery on my A1989 I'm planning to sell, and now the CPU is incredibly slow, to the point booting takes over 5 minutes, the battery isn't even recognized, I can't boot into recovery. How screwed am I, and is there any way to diagnose this?
@metaljulia - I would check the battery using this gem of an app! CoconutBattery take a snapshot of the apps main window and post it here for us to see 在已经存在的问题里加入图片
You also can run the onboard diagnostics to see what errors it tells you. Restart your system and press the D key, let us know what the errors popped.

@danj I can't get into a functioning macOS system at the moment because it lost power while making the user and I can't get into recovery. Holding D has gotten me the "online recovery" thing where it prompts for wifi, unsure if that'll give any useful info once it's doing doing whatever.

@metaljulia - If you have access to a second Mac you could create a bootable drive so you can then boot up under it. The trick is to leverage the startup command Option (⌥) to enter into the Startup Manager, then using the error keys select the external drive.

Just sounds like a connection issue, seeing how many connections you have to deal with when rplacing the battery in this Macbook, one of them inserted less than perfect can cause booting errors. Its likely just the battery, if a connection looks properly connected it may not be and that extra boot time is your system getting stuck on a connection that is connected but not fully. So I'd suggest double checking all the connections first
