How to care for MacBook's battery?
Hello,
I've just bought a new MacBook Pro after having an iMac for years so am not hugely used to using laptops. Please could you give me some advice about how to keep the battery in optimum condition? I know someone who is an IT technician and they said that you should only use a laptop without the power cord as the constant charging and discharging can affect battery life; he said that I should charge the battery to 100% then let it discharge to about 15% before plugging it in and not use it until it charges to 100% again to prolong the battery's life (just like you would with an iPhone or iPad). What do you think - is it OK to use the MacBook for long periods of time while plugged in and/or would it be OK to use it whilst charging up from 15% or should I follow the above advice?
Thanks!
Oliver
