MacBook 13" - battery issue

My MacBook works only if connected to the charging cable, as soon as I remove it the laptop switches off. I assume the battery has to be replaced. Can I buy one and change it myself?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

MacBook Pro 15" late 2013 BATTERY How do I know if my battery needs to be replaced in MacBook Pro Retina late 2013? It seems to discharge extremely fast (in an hour or less) and I have disabled unnecessary functions AND reset the power management unit. I just want to make sure battery replacement is what will fix it. THANKS ANYONE!

Macbook pro battery problem Hello, over a few weeks my MacBook Pro that i had for two years had started to act weird whenever i would plug it in to charge. For example i would plug in the charger and it would not charge the device at all, i had to adjust the USB-C port near the battery adapter to get it to charge. And now recently when i had unplugged my computer from its charger it would simply keep the lighting bolt on the battery even though it was not plugged in, now my MacBook is simply drained out of battery and i do not know what to do.
