I have an 820-3332 with no liquid damage, it overheated during an update that failed, I have tried two new batteries the problem persists. This only happens with the battery in. on charger only battery unconnected the computer boots and runs normally. If the battery is connected after boot the computer will blackscreen and immediately start bootlooping, constantly chiming over and over again, no apple symbol.

Post exact voltage at F7040/41 and pins 9 & 15 of U7000, with both charger and battery connected.
Can you acces OSX botting in SMC bypass mode?

"I have tried two new batteries the problem persists."
All chinese cheap batteries?
Try a known good one, even older.
Or try to test the new ones with other board.

i should note that the computer does charge the battery and if you plug it in while booted right before the crash it will appear in the top bar as recognized
