MacOS – MacBook Pro new battery not charging. Defective

batteryhardwaremacos

Model: MacBook Pro 13" Retina early 2015

My MacBook Pro had a battery in the condition "Replace now" so I bought a new battery on ebay and got it replaced. The problem is the MacBook identifies the battery but it is in the condition of "Replace now" and does not go above 0%. It was with 0% when I installed it since when I connected the power adapter the computer turned on.

  • I reset SMC and PRAM.
  • I'm almost sure my power adapter is fine and I can use the computer with the power adapter.

I'm thinking I purchased a dead battery and that is the problem?
What else could be the problem?

If you could give me your opinion on the battery stats on the image attached would help a lot.

That certainly looks like a dead battery. iFixit sells a replacement kit starting at $99 (USD).
