Hello everyone.
I bought a used MacBook as a computer while traveling. For this reason, the MacBook will "rest" a lot of time in the wardrobe. Can anyone tell me what to do to take care of the battery? Should I charge it up from time to time? At what % range should I have kept the battery?
Thanks in advance for your reply
"rest a lot" is a relative statement with out saying much definitive...are you talking years, months(?)
I would just use the Mac as you see fit— there is no magic sauce between usage..
The rule of thumb—if you are near the mains leave it plugged in, if you need the portability then run on the battery only—this is how you help optimize your battery charging and extend the working life of your battery by reducing the cycle count.
