After iFixit battery replacement, machine does not boot
Hello, I purchased the iFixit 15" battery replacement kit to replace the awful OEM battery inside my MacBook Pro. After replacement, the machine does not boot or chime. I tried an SMC reset but it did not respond. It does not respond to a long press of the power button either. The fans spin up after I plug in the charger, but if just the battery is connected, nothing happens when I press the power button.
I plugged in the original battery and that allowed it to boot.
What is wrong with my new battery? Thanks!
Is dit een goede vraag?

Lets not throw dispersions at Apple. The batteries they used are not that bad.

Dan, of course not, I meant that the battery had a bad cell and was dying spontaneously below 50%.

As they say there's always a bad apple in the bushel. Sorry yours gave you a hard time.
