MBP Battery Problem

Lately I've been having a problem with my MBP when using it without it being plugged in. I'll be right in the middle of working, and it will just shut off and the screen will go black. But, when I plug it back in, it picks up where it left off - no lost work or shutdown programs.
I recharged it entirely today, and put on the percentage view next to the battery display in the top bar.
It shut off again, with 70% of the battery life left. This time it fully restarted when I plugged it back in.
Battery Health is showing to be 21% right now. Never seen it that low before, it's usually around the mid 90s.
Any ideas? This is an MBP that is the version previous to the refresh earlier this year.

I had a similar problem with my MBP, took it in and they replaced the battery on the spot. No problems since.

I had a similar sounding problem. Turned out to be a bad logic board (replaced via Apple Care). I'm assuming you've checked the battery health and reset the PMU already.

I had similar issues.
Unexpected shut downs, slowness...
The geeks at the mac store said it was the RAM. They changed one of the supossedly problematic ram stick and never had the issue again.
