Issues after battery replacement

Hi,

I have a 15” retina late 2013 its been problem free, recently the battery puffed up and pushed on the trackpad and lower case, apple had no stocks as they considered it vintage, so i was forced to go the third party route. I gave the macbook to a repair shop since i was not keen on trying to pullout a badly swollen battery, they used some contact cleaner spray under the battery and pulled it out and swapped it with an oem looking battery that showed simplo was the manufacturer. That battery would not charging to 100% and the max capacity as well as charge percentage would keep fluctuating depending on the power draw as well as just after connecting the charge or disconnecting it. I returned the battery and got another from a different store they all look alike and they have different brand names but all show simplo the manufacturer and made in 2015. The second battery too would show fluctuating capacity amd charge percent, it would give upto 4-5 hrs of normal web browsing and 1 1/2-2 hours of heavy usage. That died within a week and so a third replacement was put and that too would show the same fluctuating and stuck at 99% charge even 4 hrs later. On disconnecting the charger it would either show 98% or 100%. The old swollen battery would not fluctuate on change percent and would charge to 100% also as the battery goes from 20%-5% I notice in coconut battery it shows my battery temp as 43c. Another issue i noticed right after the first shop changed the battery is that when I close the lid the mac will not go into sleep, nor can i use the mac in clamshell mode. The morning before I gave it to the repair shop i remember closing the lid to put it to sleep.

I am in India and limited to whatever brands which are all the same and cannot ship it from any other country.

What should i look for or do to resolve the issues.

Have done a clean install and tested without installing any apps as well as done the smc and pram resets. Tried running a magnet around the top case but nothing happened.

Thanks.
