1 Replacement Battery Doesn't Charge
Macbook Pro 15" (mid 2017 touch bar) A1707.
I replaced the original apple battery with a replacement battery that I purchased from Ifixit and it wasn't charging. It booted and worked when plugged in but the battery wasn't recognized. I did everything including SMC and nvram Reset to start the calibration process but it still didn't charge or work when unplugged.
Ifixit sent me a second replacement battery. I just replaced it and did all the same resets again. The new battery, once again, does not charge. I'm very frustrated because this is the second battery that doesn't charge and I did not make any mistakes during the replacement process.
Is there anything I can do to get this laptop to recognize the new battery? Please help, anyone! Dan, please!
During my first repair I also replaced the two fans, speakers and thermal paste and they all work wonderfully. Speakers blasting like new (literally), fan speeds down and silent, temps down more than 30 degrees.
The only issue was the battery. The new battery has "A1820" written on it which, as far as I can tell, is the right battery for the laptop.
Это хороший вопрос?

Hi
Sorry but I’m not @danj ,I’m sure he will be here soon though we just need to wait for the time zones to do their thing
If ifixit has sent you 2 battery’s that are doing the same thing that’s quite rare
Have you tried the original battery to see if the behaviour continues?
Also can you download this amazing app called coconut battery(linked below)so we can see what the battery is doing:-)

Just added the screenshot. Is it a calibration issue or could this battery be faulty too? Thanks for your suggestions!

It could really be both
Il have a good look at the photos and see if I see anything strange until @danj has a look:-)
