Q: Bought a new battery and OSX started showing Service Battery already! How to solve
I just bought a brand new battery from amazon, and I started using it this weekend, it has 2 cycles of load.
But my Macbook pro mid 2010 keeps showing service battery, it was normal, but this morning my macbook shut down, when I plugged the Magsafe and turn it back on again it started to show service battery. It's not possible that a brand new battery would already be bad. What should I do?
MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.5), null

Try a SMC reset:

Many third party batteries are very inferior counterfeit knockoffs and you might be a victim of one of them. The only third paryt batteries that I can recommend based on actual experience by others and myself are Nupower and Anker.
Sometimes a battery is simply defective, regardless of the source.
Ciao.
