MacBook Air Battery

Will the MacBook Air battery go bad and stop charging? I have changed the adapter and the charging wire and still no charging.

2021 MacBook Pro 16 Battery Health 93% after 6 Months Hi, I have read numerous articles on the community, but either their batteries are not depleting as quickly as mine or they are dated (like a few years ago), so I thought I want to bring my case to attention and see if it is normal that this is happening. Model: MacBook Pro 16" (2021) (M1 Max) Battery Health: 93% Cycle Count: 61 Purchased / Start using: July 2022 (6 months ago) I have been aware about the battery health precautions so I do the following few things daily: I use the official Apple Charger (140W) and the MagSafe cable I have battery management turned on Reboot my Mac from time to time Run mostly on power adapter but will still use unplugged from time to time I believe I am already doing all the right things here to preserve the battery, yet at this rate 7% per half a year, I will be at 72% at the end of the second year?! Can I be advised on whether this is normal or should I send it in to Apple? Thanks!

MacBook pro 13" A1502 Early 2015 Retina Battery issues Hi everyone. My MacBook's battery swell 3 years ago and i had it removed; but as i couldn't find the original battery, i had to keep going on without battery and as you know it runs really slow... I've showed it to apple store and other computer services. the problem is that they say even with the battery it works the same!!! still too slow!! they say it's a Motherboard problem because it gets too hot. but they can't find out the problem. Could anyone help please? i thought with a new battery it fixes but seems not to be true....

MacBook Battery not detected My mid-2014 15" Retina MacBook Pro running Big Sur 11.7.2 [up to date] has stopped detecting its battery. It boots and runs seemingly normally, but perhaps(?) a little slowly/glitchy when connected to AC power. The battery was replaced by a (now out of business) 3rd party vendor last Spring. When I attempt to boot in Diagnostic mode, I end up in Network Recovery Mode. Nothing there, nor on the EtreCheck report points to a hardware or malware problem in an obvious fashion, but perhaps I know too little to interpret them correctly. I am more than 100 miles from the nearest Apple Store. I have an iPad, iPhone and newer iMac, so having the machine running is more of a convenience than a necessity. I was thinking of attempting a battery replacement myself, but read some older posts pointing to the possibility of further hardware problems that could require replacement of boards and controllers. With my limited hardware skill set, I'm not unsure if I want to replace the battery, given the risk and cost of having diagnose and replace more components on such an old machine. I'd appreciate any suggestions or opinions you might offer.
