Hi! When i turn on my Macbook Pro with the power adapter disconnected, the screen goes black. the Mac does not turn off because the trackpad responds but the low battery icon comes out for a few seconds. To make it work I have to connect the charger and then it turns on again and it can also works unplugged. (Big Sur 11.2.1)
Thank you
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.2
These newer Macs have some very odd quirks. Sometimes it is just necessary to connect the charger to power on a recent Apple laptop. Normally the only time you need to connect a charger is when the battery is completely discharged (never a good idea to let this happen), or after the battery was disconnected & reconnected to the Logic Board (should not be a concern for the average user). If neither of these situations apply, then it may mean the battery has a problem or it is just a weird bug with the system.
Check the battery condition by Option-clicking on the battery icon on the menubar. As long as the condition is not "Service Battery", the battery is most likely Ok. With macOS Catalina & Big Sur you may see "Service Recommended", but this condition is way too vague to know what it means (may mean a bad battery or it may mean the battery won't run as long).
Run the Apple Diagnostics to see if any hardware issues are noted.
Try an SMC Reset.
