Sudden drop in battery capacity and sudden shutdowns
Hey everybody!
I'm having a little problem with my 2017 13" MacBook Air running
OSX 10.14. It shuts itself off at 30-40 percent of battery charge
without any notification whatsoever. I've been monitoring the battery
health of my laptop with CoconutBattery and what it shows me is really
weird. Its capacity dropped from 64% to 38% in one month, even though I
was using my device as usual. Also there's a low charge cycle difference
too. I've calibrated the battery (charge for 2 hours, drain, let it sit
for a few hours and then recharge it again) three times already and the
issue doesn't go away. I've reset the SMC too. I'm pretty sure it has
something to do with the component giving the battery info to the OS.
Because I booted Windows with Bootcamp and the battery percentage also
jumped 10% or more in a minute.
Is this a common issue? Do you have any idea what could be wrong?
Thank you for the replies in advance.
