My 2011 17in MacBook pro has 16gb of ram and a 1gb Samsung SSD. I recently received a new battery from Apple and my battery life is terrible. I did the ram and SSD modifications when I got a new battery.

When I first got this computer in 2011, the battery lasted a good solid 8 or 9 hours. Now it only lasts about 2 hours and that is with a new battery. When I run a battery health app, it says I should get a good 8 hours of web browsing time and says that the battery is in good condition. Any ideas on what could be going on?
