Have just received the A1281 replacement battery. However it does not charge. The magsafe light is on green but the battery is not charging. When I put in my old battery the magsafe goes to amber and it starts to charge. Any ideas?

I just bought a new battery to replace A1281, and I have the same issue as you : the battery is not charging, power charger light is green.

I've tried to reset SMC, but it didn't solve anything.
