Hello,
On my 2008 White macbook, after 700 cycles my original battery finally died. So I got a new one (generic, saves $100) and that one did not work; one instant replacement, and it worked fine to begin with.
Did a calibration, but during a full cycle, as the battery drains to 40%, at ~39% the computer shuts off without warning, and the battery indicator has one flashing dot (low-no power).
When I plug in the power adapter and turn on the computer, it shows 0% and charges up normally.
Should I ask for a replacement? Is there anything else I can try before an RMA??
Thanks
PS I have done an SMC reset multiple times. Also battery seems to discharge normally with low power warning if I stop charging at ~30%
