Hey just chiming in that I did exactly this on my 2011 i7 MBP (p Probably circa 2018) and had the same experience, terrible battery life on the new battery, MacOS would stutter, etc. Not worth it. Interesting to read that that's all we should've expected!

I also went and installed Debian on it because I knew it was no longer supported by MacOS. I know I could've tried the OpenCore and I did at one point, but it wasn't very stable and still ate through the battery. :/
