Replaced battery, shows x through the battery symbol and wont charge

After installing the replacement battery from ifixit on the 2012 MacBook Pro Retina 15”, I get an X symbol through the battery charge icon.

If I plug the power cable in the laptop runs, but as soon as I disconnect the power cable the laptop shuts off.

Can you help?

I tried reseting the SMC (Cont+Option+Shift+Power for 10 Sec) but either it’s not reseting or the battery is defective?

Not sure what to do, I installed the replacement battery exactly as the instructions stated.

Please help.

Sadly you have a bad battery. Contact the IFIXIT store for an exchange.
