2013 MacBook Air not charging - has new battery, good charger, SMC reset, etc
#1
Is this the sign of a bum new battery (possible, as it was a reasonably cheap replacement) or something hardware related? Coconut battery says "Charging with: 0 watts". Having it plugged in for over 24 hours with lid closed has yielded about 60% charge 2 different times now. Only 2 charge cycles on the battery. Multiple SMC resets done. Charger is a known good one. Nothing magnetized to the MagSafe charger or receptacle. OS is a fresh reinstall of 10.14.6 with all the updates, and essentially no other apps installed. Not really doing anything with this computer yet. Got it back from a family member who upgraded to an M1. Trying to get it into shape to either use or sell.

Before I blame this on the battery and ask for a replacement, any other suggestions? Any possible hardware culprits?
