Battery

I put a new battery in my MacBook Air (11-inch). I keep getting the following message in System Preferences: Important Battery Message: The battery's capacity is significantly reduced. To restore capacity, please check your service options.


This message appeared before I replaced the battery as well. What gives?

My untried and a complete guess response is that you initially received that message because the original battery was depleted in health and had gone bad. You replaced the battery (either yourself or had it replaced) and I am guessing that it is either not installed properly or it is not an Apple authorized battery OR BOTH. Due to this, you may still be seeing that message.
