New battery from ifixit does not work

Hi guys,

I recently ordered a Fix Set with new battery for my Macbook Pro Retina 15” Late 2013. The original battery was swollen so I replaced it yesterday with brand new one from ifixit. The replacement went without any issues but after that I tried to power up my mac and it didn’t react. So I plugged in the mag safe - the led was green and after 2 secs turned into orange. Mac started but the battery icon tells “Replace now” and “Not charging”. It shows 52% but when I disconnect the mag safe it immediately dies.

I tried everything - SMC reset, PRAM reset, both with & without the battery. I tried also repairing the files permissions and all “solutions” provided on this forum - no luck.

Someone recommended me the ifixit batteries as the ones you can trust them. Now I’m very disappointed that it does not work at all.

I connected my old swollen battery and it works fine, keeps the load and is charging.

Is there anything I can do to make the new battery working fine or I have to contact ifixit to replace it?

Here is the screen from CoconutBattery:
