Check the battery condition on your Mac

Hold down the Option key and click  Battery status icon in the menu bar to see whether your battery is functioning normally. You’ll see one of the following conditions: Normal, Replace Soon, Replace Now, or Service Battery.

If the condition is Replace Now or Service Battery, the battery probably needs to be serviced. Built-in batteries for MacBook, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro computers should be replaced only by an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.
