You got a defective battery based on the discharge curve. Get it replaced and try again before you go blaming other parts of the laptop. Unless you have issues with 2 replacement batteries it's probably not a issue with another part of the laptop.

Dell is picky about the charger Sense IC having the right hex ID to charge the laptop - they really don’t care about batteries as much. The laptops do reject 3rd party packs, but I’ve never seen them reject a properly decrypted one - it’s the ones that were done wrong or have bad values that don’t match what the laptop is expecting. Dell does sell parts (often not directly to limit liability), so I would not have settled on a clone since you can get the real pack. The best clue is price - if it wasn’t that much cheaper then what a company like [https://www.parts-people.com/index.php?action=item&id=24232|Parts People] sells for ($150) it should be fine. I would be suspicious of anything under ~$130.

If the battery is too cheap, it’s likely a knockoff unless it came from a asset liquidation from a company who sells Dell parts AND it came from Dell directly before the discount seller got it. I totally get it for something like a D630, but the part is available and it's internal so if something goes wrong it isn't like the old days where you removed the pack and saved the laptop if you have time.
