New ifixit MacBook Pro Battery seems defective. Service required?
Metin:
Hi All,
I bought a replacement battery for my 15” MacBook Pro Retina (Early 2013) last month. (Manufacturing date March 11, 2021)
I use iStat to monitor my system processes.
After only 16 cycles, it now says “Service Required” and only 76% Health. The battery only lasts an hour to an hour and a half with normal usage.
I’ve reset the SMC and the NVRAM already multiple times. I fully charged it, fully drained it multiple times.
Could I have gotten a defective battery? The current Capacity is reporting at 6552 mAh.
Thanks

**Edit* Fully charged battery now. Temp is 20 degrees lower, but life is still too short.
