Hi all, I have a 2017 Macbook 12", one of the tiny ones. I replaced the battery recently with one I bought from iFixit. It now shows a cycle count of 17 on the new battery, but it has stopped accepting charging.
The charger makes the tone when I plug it in and it shows as charging, but I'm getting 0 mA for power in the system report. Sometimes it starts out and goes to 1.3 amps, but then drops off to under 100 milliamps after a couple minutes, but I'm just getting very inconsistent performance. I've tried two separate chargers (OEM 29W and a GaN Anker 30W) and two separate USB-C cables, and those didn't show any difference in performance no matter what combination.
I believe I have reset the SMC by holding shift-ctrl-option-power while the macbook was shut down.
I also did the battery conditioning/training thing after installing the new battery, where I charged it up to 100% and then let it run itself down to 0%.
The USB-C port has been pretty weak for a long time now--cables don't necessarily click in very well, is there a possibility this is a USB-C port issue? That is easily replaced if I need to do it I guess, thankfully it's on a separate board with a ribbon cable.
Thanks for any help!
Here's the shots from coconutBattery, if it helps.

Update: Here's the screenshot from this morning. The laptop had been standby overnight, not plugged into AC power. I shut it down right after this screenshot, closed the lid, and plugged it into AC power.

Here's what happened about 1.5 hours later when I started it back up by opening the lid, and pressing power, while the laptop was still plugged in.

I don't know why the battery would've drained like that while the laptop was shutdown and plugged into power!
