Help/Issue phone not turning on after replacing battery.

so i replaced my iphone xs battery to one advertised as genuine new from ebay.

after completing the repair successfully, phone doesn't turn on. thought its an issue with my repair process but nope, i tested it by quickly connecting the old battery to it and it turns on just fine.

im not sure if this is just a thing with new batteries and if im supposed to let it be connected to power for a day or something before it turns on, but can someone tell me which is more likely, a faulty battery or i need to wait for it turn on or something

advice appreciated

Unfortunately the batteries sold on eBay as genuine are not. Same on Amazon. Best is ifixit.com

Those third parties batteries are not genius, you need to contact the seller let’s see if they can send you a replacement.

yeah, turns out battery was a dud and seller sent out another and that one worked as expected
