Q: replaced battery still low charge capacity

Hi

 

I just replaced the old battery in my 13" Macbook Pro (mid 2009) with a replacement (by Yanec). Everything seems to be working fine, it powered on without a problem and it charges, but my maximum charge capacity is at 53% (2805mAh) which is about the same level as my old battery and the battery icon still says "service battery".

I checked CoconutBattery and it does display the manufacturing date of the new battery (06-27-2015) and the correct amount of cycles (8) so I don't quite understand why the charge capacity is so low.

I already tried calibrating the battery 2 times and I already reset the SMC. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks in advance!

MacBook Pro, iOS 9.0.2, null
