I answered the original question here: https://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/444236/Lost+%E2%80%9Csetting%2C+battery+usage%E2%80%9D+after+battery+replacement.+All+else+grea#answer444257
The short answer is, they should. The ones I looked at all worked as expected, and didn't need a hard reset or anything to show battery usage. So it's either a failure with that specific battery, logic board damage, or it just needs to reset to get it to talk nicely between components.
Hope this helped!
