"Service Battery" indicates macOS has detected a hardware fault with the Battery which will need replaced. Have Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider examine the laptop to provide you with a repair estimate. In some regions you may be able to mail the laptop to Apple for the repair. Click the "Get Support" link at the top right of this page to see your options.
