Laptop on its 2nd third-party battery. Both are malfunctioning.

I’m beginning to think upgrading to 10.12.6 might be the culprit, but haven’t tested the theory. I’m out of ideas otherwise. Anybody heard of this happening under these circumstances?

Maybe both are lemons. After all, I see through Amazon.com reviews that a lot of people are having trouble.

I’m on my 2nd third party battery. 1st by EBay’s ‘myelectronics’ . 2nd by SLODA.

Both started to malfunction soon after installation. Got a handful of charge cycles out of them, then they began to fail. Done the SMC / PRAM. No weird behaviour from logic board. Used multiple power adapters, etc.

Been limping this computer the last 7 months and it’s getting tiring. I’m on a budget, so I’m being persistent about figuring this out.

Went to Apple Store last night and they won’t touch the computer because it’s 5 years old. Seems they’re more interested in P-R-O-F-I-T.

Anybody out there have a A1369 OEM battery? Seems like a needle in a haystack.

I’m on the road with a dead computer and no screwdrivers to even open it up!
