Is my External display killing my MacBook Pro battery?
The Battery on my 2018 Macbook Pro is dead, but a cycle count of only 430. I hear that they aim to reach 1000 before needing to be changed.
I took it to the Apple Store who told me the issue was that i kept it plugged into a screen most of the time.
Is he right?
Do i really have to unplug the Macbook after every time I stop using it?
Has anyone any tips?
Thanks in advance!
P.S. The MacBook runs really hot. I know it's an Intel so i always keep it on a stand with plenty of airflow around it.
It was pretty full of dust when I had it checked out by Apple so they cleaned it. However a day later and the fans still spin up to max even when running a few tabs on a web browser.
