Chosen Solution I purchased a battery here on iFixit in January 2019 and have been getting the “Service Battery” alert since January 2020. I have tried removing and re-attaching the battery (to ensure it wasn’t loose) and I’ve tried resetting the SMC and PRAM/NVRAM to no avail. The cycle count is at 50, is there anything else I should try before a) taking this in to an Apple store when that becomes possible again or b) giving in to the fact that I got a dud battery?...

Chosen Solution Car is shutting off when going down the road and it will crank right back up and go. Then it does it again. Hi @bigdawg1 , Get the vehicle’s OBDII port scanned for any error codes.

Chosen Solution The computer is not charging the battery. If you charge the battery in another computer, it will run from the battery. What part do I replace (presuming the internal battery charger is at fault)? Yes it should run off the battery if it’s charged. What is the second computer?

Is there anything that can be done to fix this? Traveld, this is usually caused by a defective digitizer or digitizer control board.
