Should the battery have been a 'newertech' from OWC, their method
of re-calibration is recommended. While an Apple-sourced battery is
not subject to a calibration routine. But may help recover usefulness.
Other things to check into, may include startup in Recovery to repair
the drive, by use of Disk Utility. (Or try Safe mode to see if that helps.
Let Mac run in Safe mode, 20 min. Restart 'Normal' w/o keys held..
To tell the Mac has restarted in Safe mode, you probably requires at
least one login with admin or user password; then words Safe mode
usually appear on upper right side by menu bar.
However these ideas are only as good as implementation. If the Mac
had not seen an adequate charging duration, the failure would occur.
Generally this still works, even with an older original replacement Mac
battery. Not certain of its source, as 'cycle count' may not be first one.
Mine sees use with Mid 2012 MacBook Pro, 2.5GHz dual-core, 13-inch
w/ 16GB RAM and 240GB blade-type SSD aftermarket storage/drive.
Has Mojave 10.14.6 installed; with 25% capacity used at present.
• How to Calibrate a portable Mac's Power System - NewerTech
https://www.newertech.com/batteries/power-calibration-guide/
My older Mac portables have seem only newertech batteries since
they're too old for official Apple replacements; & I've had no issues
with Calibration schemes. Even oldest info OWC shows online; for
used with vintage 10.4.11or 10.5.8. My MacBook1.1 '2006' runs 10.5.8.
[For mine, the calibration may see once or twice a year, if I'm bored.]
The SMC reset may (or not) be helpful. Consider if you'd try that; older
instructions, with less busywork associated with later hardware change:
Are better used with older, not the later Intel-based Macs. ~ Also try to
reset NVRAM, and hold buttons down through two-chime cycles; prior
to letting go of the 'four-keys held' during restart.
One of the SMC resets from adequate source, not strict to a newer hardware
regime; may be better. I've some bookmarked; not reviewed for this aspect.
