Battery history disappearing after battery dies with new battery

After replacing my old battery with an iFixit kit battery, when my battery goes low enough in charge for the MacBook to go to sleep, sometimes the battery history in settings will completely reset. Is this normal behavior?

I don't really see much of a difference in my opinion, other than the severely degraded battery health. It perhaps runs a little cooler (1-3 degrees) than the replacement battery but I haven't extensively monitored it, and the battery isn't permanently adhered to the chassis so that will probably affect some thermal transfer.

@lonegamer - The reason I had asked was to see why you needed to replace the battery in the first place. The cycle count is way high! Within 3.5 years you have used 1231 cycles basically burning 350 cycles per year. The average for even heavy users is about ~120

So you are either running some heavy Apps or this system has an inherent problem draining the battery. Here we are lucky to catch the load as the charger is not connected with a load of 18 Watts and your first post is only 10 Watts so I'm leaning to something more than a web browser running are you online game playing? If you are you need to stay tethered to your charger not running of Battery as the power load is too great for your usage.

As for the Battery temp as you charge or discharge the battery heats up! When it's in either state the system needs a chance to breathe when the it's deeply discharged trying to recover as well as not running hard that the input power is no sooner put into the battery to be immediately used.

Think of it this way a boat that is Sinking with a hole that is letting 10 gallons of water in needs to have more than 10 gallons of water pumped out other wise you're not out running the sinking of the boat.

Laptops no matter who's are in the same boat! Otherwise the heat buildup within the battery degrades it over time. The more often it's over the thermal threshold the shorter the batteries lifespan

Bottom line you need to change your habits a bit and if being untethered is a requirement then you need to look at portable battery's to supplement your power needs.

You could see if a fresh battery is better but without better power management I think you'll just fall back into the same state.

That does sound odd! Let's see what CoconutBattery shows us take a snapshot of the apps main window as well as the maOS Battery health window opened up posting them here so we can see things

@lonegamer - the only things I see is the battery temp is quite high running at 39.3 Celsius 102.7 Fahrenheit!!

Presently the system is not even charging, make sure t]you get it under charge at the batter is getting low, but at this high temp it's not likely to charge! You need to shut the system down and find a cooler place to charge the system give it a good 8 hours once it's cooled down under charge.

@danj I think my wording made it sound like the battery didn't charge. The battery does charge, it's just that at times when the battery level does drop low enough for the computer to automatically sleep, the battery level history will reset.

@lonegamer - You don’t understand the temperature is way too high! Until the battery temp is below 80 SMC won’t allow the battery to charge which the issue.

@danj Hmm I just double checked after letting the Macbook sit for a bit and it seems like the temperature reading consistently remains high even when the trackpad and SSD report lower. Also just noticed that when the battery history does reset, upon first boot the date shows up as April 1st and resolves itself when I login, presumably after it connects to a server.

@lonegamer - what is the charge on the battery now?
