An explanation of that message is in the article 'About genuine iPhone batteries' --> About genuine iPhone batteries - Apple Support


"An Unknown Part  message will appear if the battery installation is incomplete or if the battery:

• Was replaced with a nongenuine battery

• Was already used or installed in another iPhone

• Isn't functioning as expected"
