If your MacBook Air keeps restarting, it can be frustrating, but there are several troubleshooting steps you can try to resolve the issue. Here are some common solutions:
1. Check for macOS updates: Ensure that your MacBook Air is running the latest version of macOS. Install any available updates and see if the restarting issue persists.
2. Restart in Safe Mode: Booting your MacBook Air in Safe Mode can help identify and resolve software-related issues. If your MacBook Air stops restarting in Safe Mode, it indicates a software conflict or third-party application causing the problem.
3. Reset NVRAM/PRAM: NVRAM (non-volatile random-access memory) or PRAM (Parameter RAM) stores certain settings on your Mac. Resetting it can help resolve issues with startup and performance.
4. Run Disk Utility: Disk errors or corrupted system files can lead to unexpected restarts. You can use Disk Utility to check and repair your Mac's disk.
5. Remove recently installed software: If the restarting issue began after installing new software, it might be incompatible or causing conflicts. Try uninstalling the recently installed applications and see if the problem goes away.
6. Hardware diagnostics: If the issue persists, it's worth running Apple Diagnostics or Apple Hardware Test to check for any hardware-related problems. Restart your MacBook Air and hold down the D key while it boots up. Follow the on-screen instructions to perform the diagnostics.
7. Contact Apple Support: If none of the above steps resolve the problem, it's recommended to reach out to Apple Support or visit an authorized service provider for further assistance. They can provide more specific guidance or arrange a repair if necessary.
Remember to backup your important files before attempting any troubleshooting steps, as a precautionary measure to prevent data loss.

Batteries are considered Consumable Products.
Over time it will degrade to a point where it needs to be replaced.
The usage is normal as the capacity will go up and down all the time and never stay always at 100%.
