• Never leave the machine plugged in all the time. Laptops are meant to be portable. Using it as a desktop that never runs on the battery will destroy your battery life.
• Cycles are your friend. Never letting the battery complete a cycle will greatly diminish your run-time. Try to avoid charging the battery unless it’s drained past 30%. Any time the battery drains past 50% and charges more than 50% counts as a cycle. The farther you let it drain before the charge – the better its overall health will remain.
• 30 cycles in a year is not a good thing.
• Let the battery drain completely a few times a week.

• Never let it sit for long periods of time without use. Batteries need to be loved or else they won’t love you.

And if you follow those “tips” you’ll have a very healthy NiCad battery and a dead LiIon battery. What is this tool thinking? Has he never looked into this at all?

CYCLES ARE BAD.

Leave the unit plugged in, don’t discharge if possible, and charge as soon as you can when you get near power.

Even Apple says this, so why is this ‘tard being an smug idiot?

One more reason not to trust “community” tips.
