Buy a new battery.


Batteries are consumable and degrade over time with use, environment, load, etc.

Should the story about this battery issue be exceptionally short or incredibly long,

points or details need to be sorted, before submitting to guessing-sessions. To be

able to troubleshoot, as to use Apple Support articles toward exposing, those could.

If the battery and macbook are nearing the first year of use~ and you've seldom put

the power adapter to work at nearly every opportunity; the odds are the battery now

has been depleted too often. Once it gets neglected & is in that state, it need replaced.


Same goes with a carefully attended battery, where one goes into the idea to manage

the power and cycles for longest battery life. And user/owner cares enough to try n' coax

a few years out of the 'temporary resource' a rechargeable cell actually is. 'Low cycles' are

good. However that does not tell how long the battery has been deteriorating over time.


Some who try & keep track of their Mac portable's battery may have used calibration

few times a year; to see if that could improve its Gauge or maybe check into its status.

And some articles cover other aspects of power, management, hardware/software care.


Figure about three years maximum if you are tediously saving the life of you portable's

battery; with low use cycles, and using power adapter at every opportunity. Even if the

notebook stays chained at the workstation. The smart technologies can look over that.


Good luck & happy computing!🌤🌿❄️🌻
