2 No "empty battery" warning
Hi there,
Recently I replaced the battery of my Early 2013 MacBook Pro Retina 15" using the fix kit and manual from ifixit. Reason for the repair was the fact that my MacBook started to go into sleep without notice at about 30% battery. When I plugged the laptop in, within seconds the battery charge would show 30% again. It had about 800 cycles, so I decided to replace.
The fix kit and manual were great, and the repair went smooth, but part of the problem stayed. My MacBook still goes into sleep without notice, be it with lower charge left (about 5% - 10%). Is this a software failure, or is there some component talking to the battery which could be faulty?

[edit on 2018-11-09] I just wanted to add a final comment to “close” this topic. I recently bought a new MacBook Pro and sold the one from this topic to someone with a shop for second-hand Mac’s who believed he could repair it. I recently asked him if he was indeed able to fix the problem, and he said he was. He just replaced my “new” battery for yet another new battery.
Obviously I haven’t seen it with my own eyes, and to me it sounds kind of unlikely that two batteries have the same problem, but I still wanted to share it here. It might just have been a bad battery problem…
