Macbook Air randomly shuts down
Keeps shutting down, like the battery was dead, but there's 77% battery when I plug in and start up. It's an early 2015 Macbook Air, so maybe the battery is near end of life?

As for replacing that battery, that may not be necessary. Try troubleshooting it.

Applies to Intel-Based Macs: Try Resetting the SMC and NVRAM, but this time, using an external keyboard. Connect an external monitor and see if you get an output.
