Hi, everyone. Recently I have encountered a very strange problem. I have a MacBook 13 Pro year 2017 and recently it started turning off suddenly when it is at 50 percent 60 percent sometimes even at 80 percent battery, what is strange here is that when it is charging the shutdown does not happen.. and when I look at the battery status in the settings on the computer it says to me Normal, 400 charging cycles... what do we do???

This is relatively common symptom of bad battery. Sometimes system reports battery Normal yet you get these shutdowns at supposedly high charge levels. The battery is 6 years old, it may not have cycles to be bad, but has age for it. Batteries are "consumable" item.

I can buy good battery on ebay?

Search this forum for this subject, long and complicated discussions. Not worth repeating. If you have enough money, get Apple to replace it. They guarantee the work and if something goes bad, they stuff is warranted for 6 months I think. If you are desperate, buying 3rd party battery seems like lottery which may win or loose. Not sure what the chances are, check those complicated discussions.
