Hi all, how to properly maintain book pro's battery - how often to let it discharge and then charge again, to what percentage to let it drain, and general tips and helps. Thanks
Mac Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.3), Mid 2014 13' Retina
There are some good tips and information here:
• About Mac notebook batteries - Apple Support
• Apple Portables: Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters - Apple Support
At some point in time, there may be a need to reset the
power management or System Management Controller:
• Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac - Apple Support
Several other processes and support articles are sources of
additional information to help resolve issues or troubleshoot.
Good luck & happy computing! 🙂
Two rules that you should follow:
If you use your MBP attached to AC power, at least once per month run it with battery power to about the 40% charge level before reattaching to the charger. Lithium ion batteries need periodic exercise in order to retain maximum operating life.
Totally discharging the battery will shorten its useful operating life.
Ciao.
