I have a 13" macbook which I love and have been using for a few years... Recently I've ran into an internet connection issue. I will be running great and when the battery drops below 60-70% I lose connection without the ability to reconnect without charging the battery. I thought it may be a battery issue for some reason so I replaced the battery and it didn't help. Any advice? Thanks!

Possibly the wifi receiver going out? Or maybe the battery has some kind of swelling that's affecting the receiver? I am no expert, but that is my suggestion.

G'day and welcome to the forums.
Battery may well be slipping away. How many cycles?

Not to sound like a "newbie" but what do you mean?

You can use an app called CoconutBattery:
coconutBattery 2.7 - by coconut-flavour.com
It shows you a lot of stats about your battery and tells you how many cycles it has on it.

Cycles is the number of times the battery has been recharged. There comes a time when re-charging may not top the battery up 100%. Have a loo at this where 300 cycles is suggested as maximum before re-charging problems occur:-
