Battery care, pls help me clarify :)

I just this rMBP 2015 and the first time mac user.

In regards with the maintenance of the battery, I've been looking for clarification on the ff since my mbp, most of the time stay at home now.

I read most of the people leave mbp plugged when at home to minimize the number of cycle and have it use about 50% at least once or twice a month.

1.) my battery is at 100% so load now it works on power adapter right and theres no risk of overcharging of the bat?

After using my mac or before you go to bed, I mostly read it is not much of a difference in stopping or doing it either "standby mode". But since it will remain unused for long hours, I'd rather stop.

2.) after closure should I unplugged and just plug in again before you turn it on?

I also read that MacBook do not charge from full load up to what he dove percentage as about 95% of batteries? Return to question No. 2, if I disconnect the device after stopping allowing him is charged at 100%. With this logic when I plug it again before using it will run directly on the right power adapter?

3.) it would be better if I stop > disconnect > plug > turn on? and just it run on battery until 50% once every two weeks?

1. the OSX controls the battery charge.  There is no risk of overcharging.

2. it makes no difference.  I leave it plugged only because it's one less thing to do.

3. when a MBP was fully charged (100%), the charger will stop charging the battery but provide power to operate the MBP.  At this point the battery behaves as if it is stored on a shelf and be discharged very slowly.  When less than 95% charge level, then the battery will start recharging as well as the power to run the MBP.

Two rules:

If you run the MBP with the charger connected all the time, at least once a month during the MBP with the battery about the 40% level before plugging it back.  Lithium-ion batteries need exercise for long life.

Never completely drain the battery.  That will shorten the battery life.

Ciao.

    Hello tooblackish

    Welcome to the Forums of the BlackBerry Support

    Sorry for the trouble, but I noticed this same problem with few other users, who could not send pings to any BlackBerry 10 there BlackBerry 7 devices.

    To solve your problem, I suggest to re-install BlackBerry Messenger!  To do this on your homescreen go to Options > device > application > locate and remove BlackBerry Messenger from there. After deleting to do a battery pull reboot as this device powered on remove the battery wait a min. then reinsert back.

    KB10040  : How to display or remove installed application on a blackberry smartphone   

     

    Finally, after the reboot, use your BlackBerry browser and go to www.blackberry.com/bbmdownload and download the latest available for your phone model. If device reboot prompt do then sign in with your ID BlackBerry even.

    Try it and tell us how it goes.

    _______________________________________________

    Please note:

    If you encounter BBM7 or higher then your BBM Contacts are integrated into your BlackBerry ID after installation when you log in with your BlackBerry ID Contacts is restored back, but if you experience any previous Kathy then first make a backup local, you can save on your press card, see this KB for additional assistance

  • problem with my cd/dvd drive... pls help!

    I have windows 7 ultimate! I have problem with my hard drive! I use lg drive and all of a sudden it reads only the CD-ROM and the dvd rom no! its disturbing me a lot! pls help! Thanks in advance

    Hello

    Having too many CD/DVD programs can cause strange problems, especially if they're loading of parts of
    themselves at the start because they will be competing for resources. This does not mean that this issue has been
    caused by those, however, it's a possibility depending on which and how many you have installed.

    You have disk problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD burning and)
    Playback of CD and DVD). So it is not unusual for parts from 1 or 2 to not work so that others do
    correctly.

    Burning at low speed, or by using the master could help. A CD/DVD cleaner might help.

    Brand of the CD or DVD drive can also be the problem. Low quality (cheap brands) are always problematic.

    CD/DVDs have a tolerance + - and your can read/write on the edge outside these discs
    tolerances. They may be delivered, but it is generally more economical to replace the disk.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
    Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
    RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.
