Batteries do not last for ever and after about 3 years they need to be replaced. An old battery simply will not hold its charge. Therefore as a first step in chasing down your problem, get your battery tested.

Is it possible to improve battery life on your Mac?

Just let the computer run on battery power until its completely drained, then recharge it fully. This is called a "recalibration" and can increase battery performance. However, if you want to completely "extend" battery life, you could just get an external source, like a case with an extended battery, a device to charge gadgets anywhere you go, etc etc.
