I installed the battery properly, my laptop recognizes it, and it charges perfectly fine while plugged into a power source.

The problem comes when I unplug the laptop from the power source and force it to use battery power. It runs for another ~25 seconds and then it powers off instantly with a loud "pop" noise.

I'm not sure what the problem could be. Are you able to provide me with any troubleshooting steps?

My laptop works perfectly fine with the Lenovo battery it came with 5 years ago, though its life is a lot shorter than it used to be.
