My MacBook Pro 13” (Early 2015) does not charge. It’s battery stays at 1%. It only works when plugged in And turns off as soon as I unplug. MagSafe connector LED is Amber.I have tried resetting SMC and PRAM.My battery has 715 cycles.System information says it has 25% battery health.Running Diagnostics says: “The battery may not be charging properly“ - “Disconnect the MagSafe power adapter from the computer and the power outlet, then reconnect. Run the test again.” Does this look like a battery problem or MagSafe DC-in problem? Edit 1: Screenshot of CoconutBattery

Edit 2: I got my MacBook battery replaced and it’s working fine now :)
Sadly you have a twofer! You clearly need a new battery which is the easiest to fix MacBook Pro 13" Retina (Early 2015) Battery and the guide MacBook Pro 13" Retina Display Early 2015 Battery Replacement. But! your logic board is also damaged! The charging logic was damaged by a knockoff charger which is why the charger is not charging the battery at all (zero watts). That will need someone with deeper skills to fix and you still need to replace the charger with a REAL Apple unit: Apple 45W MagSafe 2 Power Adapter for MacBook Air ● Don’t Replace Your MacBook Charger With a Cheap Knockoff ● OEM MagSafe Chargers vs Cheap Imposters: Teardown for Truth ● Lacking safety features, cheap MacBook chargers create big sparks ● FAKE MagSafe MacBook Chargers on eBay - Watch before buying a Mac Charger Consider all of the costs!
Mine is also doing this - and when turned on (with charger in) the date resets to 31 December 2019. Any help welcome!
