Great guide. I may well need a new battery but would appreciate your comment. Battery shows charging but never gets above 0%

When I put a meter at the 2 red cables they show zero volts (even when computer on, and showing charging). Other wires are ~1.6v & 3.4v.

Could I have a faulty battery or something else?
