As to why your system is shutting down while it has still lots of power is often a messed up SMC. What happens it the SMC holds a high and low watermark (the batteries charge) so it can go into power save mode so yo don't loose what you are working on. I would reset it following this Apple T/N: [https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295|Reset the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac]. Then after your system is fully charged let it fully discharge at least two times this will reset the low water mark to be at the correct level.
