Hi all,
I have a second hand Macbook pro (mid 2012) i7 - A1286, which I have had for almost a year. When i first got it the battery was duff and it never used to operate unless plugged in.
I went on ebay and purchased an alleged genuine battery. I started having issues with the macbook randomly shutting down, at times I had to reset the SMC in order to restart. I thought the battery could be so had a replacement sent. Same issue.
Aside from this, after use for a few months, the battery is still stuck on a cycle count of 1.
Could it just be a duff battery, or something else? If so, where is the best place to purchase a genuine replacement battery?
Many thanks!
