When installing a new battery, you should calibrate it after installation: Charge it to 100%, and then keep charging it for at least 2 more hours. Then, unplug and use it normally to drain the battery. Keep your laptop on until it goes to sleep due to low battery. Wait at least 5 hours, then charge your laptop uninterrupted to 100%.
