Why does my Macbook Air(Early 2015)after replacement logic board and battery (twice) say the battery needs charging when I try to turn it on, but then with the power cable attached it comes on and says the battery is charged to 75%(not always the same but depending on the charged level)

You are most welcome.
Excellent job troubleshooting this!
If it’s dropping down to 75% just because of plugging it in, then a few things…
Troubleshooting Mac Charge:
Refer to the following....
A. Reset the SMC and your NVRAM:

B. Try a New Charger:
C. A Few Links to Refer to for Power:

Check Battery Health on the MacBook:
To check the Battery Health on a MacBook running macOS High Sierra, follow these steps:
The battery condition will pop up, reading either Normal or Service Recommended. Of course, if it's Service Recommended, consider replacing the battery
Did Apple or an Apple Authorizec Service Provider perform the logic board and battery replacements, or did a third-party shop or you perform the work?
Have you the Apple Diagnostics or did any other type of troubleshooting?
Did you try running an EtreCheck report? Using EtreCheck to Troubleshoot Potential… - Apple Community
Looking at it again having recharged it back up again to 100% it seems to now turn on as it should do but looks like if it drops below a certain charge it then starts to play up saying it needs recharging
