New Battery Replacement is Not Being Recognized

Hey

A friend of mine gave me his old MacBook Air (mid 2011). It had a swollen battery so I took it out, and ordered a replacement. I got the new battery, set it up, and it is not being recognized.

The laptop was running Lion OS, and it would not show that the new battery was connected. I plugged the old battery back in and the computer recognized that one, so i'm thinking the new battery is faulty. Just to test, I upgraded Lion to OS X (this also allowed me to use coconut battery).

OS X failed to install every time, until I connected the old battery again. (Unrelated, but I guess you cannot upgrade your OS without a battery).

After OS X was installed, I tried the new battery again. This time the battery indicator on the top of the screen showed the battery symbol charging and 0%. It would then change back to the battery symbol with an X.

I have tried everything that I could find on the forums: Resetting SMC, PRAM, etc.

I've tried two chargers, a 45W and 85W and both just have a solid green light.

I've included images of my battery system report as well as my coconut battery diagnosis for when the battery indicator shows a 0% charge and with the X. (The system report did not change when the battery indicator changed, but the coconut battery diagnosis did.)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Battery temperature is quite funny, absolute zero couldn't be reached on earth last time I studied physics ;) Seems to me undoubtfully a faulty battery logic. Request the vendor a replacement, without wasting further time in attemping troubleshooting, you already did all you could. Enclose the screenshots to avoid lenghty useless discussions.

By the way, updating the Os without battery won't be a problem, unless you have a faulty battery connected.

Yeah, I was a bit suspect when I saw that battery temp. Thanks for the input. I'll be sure to get a replacement.
