The best part is that as soon as I plug it in, the mac suddenly turns on and gets back to the point I had left it before shutdown (no request of password, no loading screensвЂ¦) and I can unplug it and it will work normally, with no problem whatsoever.

Since a couple of weeks ago, though, my mac started to have a strange behaviour when I turn it on and the battery is lower than 50%: it boots up, I enter the password and it loads correctly, but after 20 seconds it shuts off, displaying the вЂњdead batteryвЂќ sign. However the battery didnвЂ™t present any problem besides reduced battery life (I can get at most 3 hrs), which is not a big deal for me. I own a mid 2014 15вЂќ MBP with the original battery (it now has about 1100 cycles, with 70% health, as displayed by Coconut Battery)

I used to leave it plugged in pretty much all of its life.

Apple offers a battery replacement service for all MacBook, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro notebooks with built-in batteries. The one-year warranty includes replacement coverage for a defective battery. This worked for my 2017 MacBook Pro 13вЂќ (two thunderbolt ports) that only had 152 charges on the battery. Your battery is designed to retain up to 80 of its original capacity at 1000 complete charge cycles. I knew steps 2 through 5 worked because my MacBook would shut off at 62% BUT after the third reset it finally jumped to 6% and I was able to run it unplugged for a ridiculously time.

Use an app like Coconut Battery to see if things match.

Plug in the MacBook and let it fully charge to 100%, disable anything that prevents this from happening.

Attempt to turn on the MacBook, IF IT DOES NOT TURN ON PROCEED TO STEP 9.

LEAVE THE MACBOOK ALONE FOR A MINIMUM OF 5 HOURS!!! That MacBook Air continued to run well until the last year or so, when it began to run out of battery very quickly, and became a bit unreliable in terms of performance.

Repeat steps 2 through 4 until it stays dead (I had to do this 5 times before it was officially dead).

Hold shift+control+option+power for 10 seconds (resets the SMC).

UNPLUG THE MACBOOK AND LEAVE IT UNPLUGGED UNTIL STEP 9.

I solved my issue by doing the following: Some owners are reporting that their headphone battery is draining from 100 to 1 or 0 overnight, even when left inside the official Apple case designed to drop them quickly into ultra-low power.
