Installling ifixit battery is causing high cpu by configd

I have recently replaced original battery on my old macbook pro with ifixit battery (MacBook Pro 15" Retina (Mid 2015) Battery), and I have noticed that when the laptop is on battery power, configd is causing high cpu utilization, typically greater than 100%, which also increases fan (you hear fan going crazy), see the spinning rainbow, and the laptop stops responding to any keyboard or mouse input.

When you attach power cable, then it goes back to normal.

I searched online, and there was a post suggesting turning internet sharing off. It was never on on my laptop to begin with. I am not sure how to go about fixing the issue. The whole reason to buy and install replacement battery is to use it without always tethered to power cable, but configd's high cpu utilization is preventing it.
Has anyone encountered such issue? How did you fix it? Does ifixit have solution? Any help or suggestion would be much appreciated.

Okay. I took advice from Zach and asked for a replacement, but ultimately it didn't fix the issue. I still have a problem with configd. I searched the internet, but it looks like it's an issue with 3rd-party battery like ifixit's. They are all recommending replacing the battery with original one from Apple. I know Apple is always against repairing their products, but this feels quite petty. This renders using 3rd-party battery really useless. Unfortunately. :(

Answer is that there is currently no fix. I contacted ifixit and they sent me a new replacement battery, but the issue with configd remains - configd process eats up CPU utilization and number of ports and memory footprints keep going up. Terminating process keeps bringing configd come back.

The issue goes away when the laptop is connected to power source. It's an issue only when I am using the laptop solely on battery power.

I searched the internet, and it looks like it happens to macbook pros with 3rd-party batteries. Unless Apple addresses the issue, I don't think there is a way to fix it and unfortunately makes using 3rd-party batteries like ones from iFixit pretty much useless. :(

Seems like it's an issue with certain third party batteries. Might be worth exploring this Reddit thread if you haven't already—there are a number of people with the same issue there. Might be worth contacting iFixit directly to see if they have a recommendation or can send you a replacement battery to try. Good luck!
