Rule No. 1 regarding battery care: don't obsess and try to micromanage things. Let the OS and hardware do their job.


The best advice for getting the most from your battery:


• Plug in when using the computer near available power.

• Use on battery when ac is unavailable.

• Don’t subject the computer and battery to extreme temperatures.

• Let the OS and charging circuits manage the charging.

• Try not to allow the battery to discharge deeply regularly before plugging in. Yes, it will happen from time to time, just don't make it a habit.

• Don't obsess over battery life and/or health.  


Here is Apple's guidance on the subject.
