Thank you very much. I did the test and the result said;

The battery requires service

Reference Code: PPT004

But I just replaced my battery and I bought it from ifixit. it only has about 40 cycles so far. Do you think apple will replace the battery after replacing it with an aftermarket battery or do they even replace batteries for MacBook Pro 2014? or is there any other brand that I could trust ? Thank you in advance.

Third party batteries are known to be not so reliable.

Hi everyone, I have a MacBook Pro 13 mid 2014. My issues is that even if my MacBook has a charge on battery it shuts down randomly. I have reset the SMC before and issue was gone for a while but today it happened again. What could be the reason of this shut downs? Here are the the logs from terminal regarding the shutdowns. Thank you for any help!

you can try the AHT/Diagnostic

user Diagnostic...not as definitive as Apple's own AST2 (Apple Service Toolkit) back bench diagnostic, but may kick out an error code.

Previous Shutdown cause 0 is power failure (or sudden catastrophic ran out of battery power, so quickly that hibernation was impossible).

Try an SMC reset first.

If SMC reset a few times does not seem to be helping, I think you need to have a chat with whoever sold you the battery you are using now, as it does not seem to be operating as expected.
