Plug it in and use it. No there is nothing special to do.

Yes, there is. It requires making certain that the temperature, charge level, and time spent charging are all properly optimized. It requires checking many parameters about ten times a second, and reducing the charging rate when it is approaching full. It requires that a charge cycle not be initiated until the charge has dropped enough to make a charge cycle worthwhile.


Lucky for you, your computer is all set up to do this work for you, so you don't ever have to worry about such stuff. Your Macintosh computer will never over-charge.


Whenever you are near AC power, plug it in. When you must, use it on battery. Nothing more is required..
