A cell that shuts the machine down with charge still showing, or runs hot doing very little, is worn rather than broken. Capacity drops with every charge cycle, and on a MacBook 12-inch in daily use that becomes hard to ignore somewhere past the two year mark.
The 2015 A1534 uses a different cell to the 2016 and 2017 revisions of the same model number, so the year matters here as much as the model.
What is listed here is held in New Zealand rather than ordered in per sale, so a repair booked in the morning is not waiting on offshore freight. Everything else for this range is under MacBook 12-inch Spare Parts, and fitting can be booked through the repairs service.
Orders placed before the 2pm cut-off dispatch the same working day and reach most New Zealand addresses overnight.
Stop using it and stop charging it. A swollen cell presses on the trackpad and screen and should come out promptly.
Aftermarket cells often cannot pass health data to macOS, so a service message can appear. The cell itself charges and runs normally.
