Battery replacement won't charge, no light on magsafe, ASD results in!
{Problem: Everything works on the Mac except the battery doesn't charge, and there is no light on the MagSafe2 to indicate status. The system is being powered by the adapter. It says power source: power adapter. It also says Battery not charging.}
I installed a replacement battery from ifixit for my mbp 15” early 2013 and the install went fine, everything works… except… the battery won’t charge. It arrived with 70% and even with the power adapter connected it has slowly run down to 1%. I have tried to reset the SMC, the PRAM/NVRam, I have rebooted, I have disconnected and reconnected the power adapter from the outlet and the computer. I have disconnected and reconnected the battery. I have checked that all the internal cables are seated properly.
I ran ASD and it failed test #51 “Checks to see if the Battery is using the programmed ATV Table. Error message:
Error -26 [Programmed charge Table Not in Use] TEST FAILED
HELP!!!
IFixit don’t seem to have any interest in engaging with the problem, no real technical support, they did offer a refund fairly swiftly, but weren’t interested in investigating.
Update (09/20/2021)
As you can see it sees the battery it says it’s ‘good’, has 1 cycle, but won’t charge even with the power adapter attached.
The magsafe2 although running the computer doesn’t light up btw. I have disconnected and reconnected the power supply from the outlet and the computer.
Magsafe2 looks clean

I'm suspecting your battery has an issue but need a bit more to tell.
Let’s get a better view of things, install this gem of an app! CoconutBattery take a snapshot of the apps main window and post it here for us to see Ajout d'images à une question existante

@batterymacs - I started out fixing IBM PC's, yup the original PC! Then Compaq and Apple II & HP systems so I've been around awhile ;-}
I'm retired now and focus my efforts on the Mac systems.

Wow! Quite a history! Any idea what the deal is with this battery? ATV Tables? Or you think it's just a screwy circuit on the battery maybe?
