Apple Macbook air M1 2020 power blackout after 30% battery percentage

I have purchased M1 air 2020 last year August. But within these days my battery health drop to 88%.

But recently when my battery percentage drop near to 30% it goes blackout.


Do I need to replace my battery by now ? And what does it cost it take

Does the battery condition show "Service Recommended" or "Normal"?


Try running the Apple Diagnostics to see if any hardware issues are detected.


If the battery condition is "Service Recommended", then have the laptop serviced to have the battery replaced.


Usually if the laptop suddenly powers off at anything above 5% and is at 0% charge when powered back on, then it usually indicated the battery is failing. However, the battery condition and the Apple Diagnostics may still show everything is Ok. Sometime checking when the battery charge is low will change those results. If you can show the laptop suddenly powering off at 30% charge, then Apple will most likely replace the battery even if the diagnostics & battery condition report normal.

Sorry about the delay in responding.


If the laptop always powers off at 30%, then it would most likely be a battery hardware failure. Have Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider examine the laptop. Hopefully either their service diagnostic will show a problem, or they will actually see the laptop power off at 30% so they can replace the battery.


If the battery is not consistent in this failure at 30%, then there is a chance you could have some other issue. Perhaps an externally connected device, or an issue with some third party software, or a configuration setting that is having the laptop power down.
