Q: How to take care of Macbook Pro battery?

Hi. I just got a new Macbook Pro battery 13'' for college. I really like it so far, but my only concerns are in how I should take care of it. I want to make sure I can use the laptop for a long time.

 

They said I can do roughly 1000 charge cycles. Does that mean 1000 full charge cycles (from 0 to 100 percent)? If not, at what percentage should I let my battery fall down to before recharging back up fully.

 

Is it also bad to keep the battery always charged in? I don't want to keep using cycles meaninglessly so I think keeping it charged when I'm at home may seem convenient, especially when watching videos.

 

And does it damage the battery to completely discharge it? I did it by accident when I tried calibrating the battery. However, my laptop did not end up going to sleep, but rather shutting down, indicating that it was actually a built-in battery.

 

If you could help answer any of these questions, I would appreciate it. Thank you.
