Sounds like poor contact between the battery and the contacts on the case.
Try resetting the SMC, the Apple website will tell you how
Also look in About This Mac > More Info > Power
Does it say battery installed - Yes?
Under battery health it should say "normal" & a cycle count. What does yours say?
What does it say for Full Charge Capacity?

Battery Installed: Yes
First low level warning: No
Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 3521
Remaining Capacity (mAh): 3041
Amperage (mA): 1452
Voltage (mV): 11915
Cycle Count: 1558
Almost certainly a bad battery.
Under battery health it should say "normal" if yours says "Check battery" that's a bad battery.
You have 1558 cycles, that's a really old, really tired battery. Apple says they will go for 1000 cycles.
Also your voltage and max capacity are very low. Bad battery.
