MacBook Pro battery dies when sleeping after charging to a full battery. I have only used my MacBook Pro sparsely in the past two weeks. Both times, the computer was dead so I fully charged it to 100%. After maybe ten minutes of usage, I put it down. A few days later, when I open my computer, the MacBook was completely out of battery. This is despite having no applications running (supposedly) and in sleep mode with the lid down. What is causing my battery to die while sleeping? I checked the battery health and it reported: "normal". It is rather annoying having to boot up my MacBook with a charger every time I want to use it. What can I do to fix this issue?

MacBook Pro Battery My MacBook Pro 2017 battery appears to be draining whilst in shut down mode. I used it whilst charging, and it was almost at 100% when I shut it down. Less than 24 hours later I tried to turn it on but there was no battery. I plugged it into my power adapter (Belkin). I got a service recommended message my battery health, but this disappeared shortly, and the health returned to ‘normal’. After 5 to 10 minutes of charging the battery reads at 100% and is draining normally. I noticed the battery was too low to turn on my MacBook the previous time I’d tried to turn it on, also - but hadn’t remembered whether it was low when I shut it down. So this has likely happened twice. Does anyone know what may be wrong?

Is this the original battery or a replacement?
