I followed [guide|10380] to replace thermal paste of my MacBook Pro 13” Mid 2012. Everything was fine except that the battery could not be detected. After some troubleshooting, I stumbled on a PIN in the SOCKET of the battery connector that was NO LONGER STRAIGHT. I must have distorted the pin as I replace the battery cable plug. The battery was back once I straighten the pin.

You might want to perform such a quick visual check before resorting to other means.
