My Macbook Pro power keeps shutting down with plenty of charge left.

I’m curious why my MacBook Pro keeps randomly shutting down? I’ll turn it back on, and each time I have less and less time. By the 3rd or 4th time I restart it, it will only stay on for a couple minutes, if that. I notice that when I let it sit overnight I’ll have a little more time to use it the next morning, but only for about 30 minutes at the most. Is this an issue with my hardware, storage, or a 3rd party glitch?

MacBook Pro 15″, OS X 10.10

Try resetting the System Management Controller, and Determine battery cycle count for Mac notebooks, then take it in to an authorized service place.
