Question

13" MacBook Air early 2015 battery

Why is my battery discharging so quickly? I had it fully charged, then took it to a 2-hr. workshop where it slept, clamshell closed and unplugged, because I didn't end up needing it. I turned it off and drove home. When I turned it on there, it let me log in and then the screen went black. I plugged it in for 1/2 hr. and now it's up to 99%. This has been happening frequently. I have the energy saver preferences set to minimize drainage. System information says the battery has been through 532 cycles and needs servicing. The Apple site said it's rated for 1000. Why is it dying so young? Thanks.

You may need to read through this Support site and see the parts that likely apply

to your portable Mac, and how to learn what process or procedure may help.

Also the charging circuit (power adapter, connector, battery, and internal power board)

may need inspection; however ^ linked site page has plenty of information for thought.

If there's hardware-related cause or likely cause for the symptoms your mac exhibits

there may be help toward a repair, or referral to further testing to determine cause.
