  • Use a Laptop Cooler:

Keep it cool. Place your laptop atop a laptop cooler.


  • Don't Leave it Plugged in:

Leaving it plugged in, it will most certainly overheat - once charged let it stay unplugged.


  • Use this in an Open Space:

Avoid, battery damage by keeping your Mac out of the corner, and out of sunlight.


  • Keep an Eye on it:

Sometimes batteries can corrode, so keep an good eye on it.
