Is the battery a genuine Canon battery? 

You camera was supplied with the LP-E6N battery, but can use the older LP-E6 model. More recently Canon has updated the battery to the LP-E6NH and the newest version is the LP-E6P. It is possible that the LP-E6P is not able to work with your camera, other R-series cameras needed a firmware update to support the LP-E6P and no such update was released for the EOS 80D. 

If your battery is not a genuine Canon battery then you should get a Canon battery. 

See the note here about counterfeit batteries
