Macbook Air 2012 shuts down when unplugged

Hi. Last night my macbook started shutting off whenever i unplugged the power adaptor.

I've reset the SMC, the PRAM and tried every solution other than changing the entire battery.

I've been a bit scared on the internet cause a lot of people are saying that they have replaced their battery and the problem persists, it may be a motherboard issue.


Anyway I'll paste the stuff here:
