What is the best practice to optimize Li-ion battery life with an M series Macbook? I have a newer Macbook Pro. I have heard conflicting methods for optimizing battery life as far as charging and discharging. Some say leave it plugged in all the time. Others say don't leave it plugged in all the time. What does Apple recommend and what do you recommend and practice? Thanks for your suggestions!

How to optimize MacBook Pro battery Hey, I bought my first Mac now with the release of the m5 MacBook Pro! I need to know how to care for my battery. I edit videos with premier pro and sometimes code etc. I am wondering if I should let my Mac go up to 80 and then unplug or if I should always plug it in when I'm editing my videos so the Mac charges up to 100% but also use the power brick (96W charger) I could also install ardent to not let it go over 80% But I dont know what's best... I got apple care + but I still want to make sure my battery health stays..w Right now im charging it everytime I edit.. Thanks, Chris

Maintaining maximum battery capacity on a second-hand MacBook Air M1 I got a second hand MBA m1 and i got it on 94% maximum capacity with 21 cycle count. It looks quite weird with those number of cycle count. Can you give me some tips to use it without losing the maximum capacity. And one more thins, can I use the laptop after 80% of maximum capacity? The battery is degrading pretty fast like 4-5% in 20 minutes [Re-Titled by Moderator]

I'd say just use it as you see fit. My philosophy is "Do you serve the battery or does the battery serve you?"

In the end it's a nominal cost to get a battery replacement service if the capacity decreases below what Apple considered "depleted".
