That is the reason your Mac is not working well. Have Apple or an authorized Apple repair shop replace its battery: Mac Repair - Official Apple Support.

Hi there, Rayan_faisal.


It sounds like you're having some trouble with your MacBook Air, resulting in slow performance, as well as battery issues. We're determined to help you get this figured out.


Do you notice the slowdowns happening while using certain apps? If so, which apps are they?


If the computer shuts off when not connected to power, and the battery is alerting you that you need service, you should arrange service. You can look into your available options for that here: Get Support


All the best.
