Laptop turns off after 7 % (on battery power). After this when plug to power it has 6 % battery. It's brand new and has charged only 2-3 times. When it is fully charged it works great. but after 7 % there is this problem.
Do I have only this issue? How it possible to fix?
If "brand new" means it's still under warranty, have Apple evaluate it for a battery replacement under warranty.
However, shutting down at very low battery level is not necessarily a bad thing. 7% may be a bit early, but how much use do you actually get for 7% to 0%? If it were me, and of course it's not, and the Mac is otherwise operating properly I'd consider it as "enhanced battery safety".
But again, if you can't live with it, get it to Apple.

Thanks ku4hx. I was told to after 80% plug it to power for a 8 hours ( as battery needs calibration ). Now I'm waiting to check how does it work.
Previous laptops (15" Pros) worked on 1 percent as well and hope this one will perform in the same way.
