Hi there, I have a Macbook pro Retina 15" mid-2014 running High Sierra 10.13.6. I purchased a Macbook pro battery (for the 2013-mid-2015) by Newertech because my apple one said Replace Now. I followed iFixit’s video instructions and installed it yesterday. I calibrated the battery as instructed, I reset the PRAM and reset the SMC, and I still see the “Condition: Replace Now” showing up on my Mac. The battery only has 2 cycles on it, was made 11-23-2020. Coconut Battery says it has Current Charge & Full Charge are 9937 mAh, Design Capacity (of computer I think) is 8440 mAh, MacOS Battery status = poor, Battery temp = 30.6 degrees C. Is my battery truly bad? What else can I do to reset the condition, and why does coconut battery say the battery status is poor? Thanks. Update (02/01/2021) The coconut battery screenshot was taken at 4 pm today. As of 7 pm today the temp of the battery has gone down to 24.5 degrees C, but all else in the screenshot remains the same. Thanks for any guidance!
