May 25, 2016 4:28 PM in response to lapinjaneby lllaass,What is cycle count?
Determining battery cycle count for Mac notebooks - Apple Support
However, even with an acceptable cycle count the battery may require replacement for longer run time since battery run time gets shortened by both cycles and age. You Mac battery is about 5 years old if you still have the original battery

May 25, 2016 8:03 PM in response to lapinjaneby Linc Davis,1. Please check the cycle count of the battery against the rated life for your model. The battery may be due for replacement. If the power adapter is connected almost all the time, the battery may need replacing even though the cycle count is not too high.
2. Follow these instructions.
3. In the Energy Saver preference pane, uncheck the box marked
Enable Power Nap while on battery power
if it's shown (it may not be.)
4. You can also try resetting the SMC.
5. Make sure your system is up to date in Software Update.
6. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.
