battery doesn't hold charge

Hi


I have a 2019 MacBook Air that lately seems like it wont hold a charge. It takes hours to fully charge. Then drains quickly. Any thoughts? Should I replace?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.2

2019 MacBook Air you stated. Too soon to be having battery related issues. Before you replace anything,

  1. Reset SMC by following the directions applicable to your MacBook here ➔ How to Reset SMC. If that does not solve things then-
  2. Reset NVRAM/PRAM by following the directions applicable to your MacBook here ➔ How to Reset NVRAM/PRAM. If that does not solve things then-
  3. Enter ➔ Safe Mode and see if the screen issue still exists in Safe mode. Log out of Safe Mode and then reboot computer. If that does not solve things then-
  4. Finally if none of the above works then you can enter ➔ macOS Recovery Mode and reinstall the macOS and see if that solves it.
