"With Apple computers, if the battery is bad or not recognized the computer will be very slow. so that is normal.

Unfortunately, I have had my fair share of bad batteries from iFixit. They have a great return policy so you won’t have to dispute it with your bank. just let them know your issue with the battery and they will either refund you or send you a new one.

With Apple computers, it should recognize the battery right away when you plug a new one in without having to do any reprogramming. So being that it doesn’t recognize it. It sounds like there is either something wrong with the battery or the main logic board. but it’s more likely to have an issue with the battery."

Many newer laptops with mini chargers absolutely need the battery to provide extra power when the cpu clocks up. Also most units now use both an age & genuine check. If the battery wasn’t “fresh”, you’ll have all the problems you described. It’s not the actual battery cells that are bad, probably bad data on the “on battery computer”. Batteries aren’t dumb anymore, they have their own data and safety processor.
