Dear friends,

Thank you very much for your answers

So DLMiller you propose that as long as I have it connected the main source is the cord and not the battery? Will not ruin the battery? I am trying to charge it , then use battery, then charge it etc. To keep the battery working and the power not to ruin the battery, which I thought it will lose life if I have the power connected most of the time. You propose to keep the power on and take it of (more or less) when I want to use it as a laptop (as it is of course)?

Unfortunately, some should last for ever! I circle it toooooo much the last months!!! So I will keep the power on for let's say a week and circle it ( I guess fully charge and then let it close in battery mode, until the battery runs out of energy) . As you say I will have to change it anyway so ..... Would you also share you opinion on this? Would you change the battery on your own in a unibody mac? Just out of curiosity to see if I would be the only one who would do it,

Thank you very much both of you, especially Miller for being so informative.

So you are in the same position with me. I wish I have asked earlier. Thank you so so much. Your information were great and highly helpful. I run large projects as well so you can understand. I will follow your instructions.

Thank you very much!!!!!!

Thank you very much for the link. It was nt necessary since it is so obvious that you know what you saying. Your support was great. It would be nice to have in our macs what i have in my almost 10years old Ibm thinkpad: the charge stops when the battery is charged , you do not take of the plug and it starts again when you want e.g when the battery reaches 10% it starts automatically. So you always keep the plug on , battery works only when you decide and you do not even have to get it of. Can you imagine that the battery in IBM still holds for at least 2 hours after all this time? I wish apple had somehting like this.

Thank you once more for your great help.
