How low should I leave the battery on my MacBook Pro before I recharge

I have a new MacBook Pro and I know that once a month I'm supposed to leave the battery discharged.  But how low should it let?

Don't let the battery discharge to 0. You must load whenever it is convenient. There is no battery memory as the old batteries so you can load any level of discharge.

  • How to optimize the battery in my MacBook Pro?

    Hey,.

    I just bought a new MacBook Pro 2015 13 inches and I love it so far! Mainly, I bought it for use at the University since I am a student in Architecture and I was told that the MacBook Pro are great for this.

    Anyway, as I always take careful care of my business, I want to know how to maximize the battery in my MacBook Pro? Is it true that whenever I have my MacBook Pro connected to the charger and it reaches the max (100%), the charger stops charging? Also, should I turn off or put to sleep when I'm not using it?

    I have read online some tips, but I want to just make sure that all of its clear. I have a lot of questions to be honest, but if someone can give a brief explanation I would really appreciate it!

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Josetroti:

    When you leave your MacBook Pro is plugged, it stops to load automatically when it reaches 100%. There's no need to unplug it.

    I turn on my Macbook Pro in the morning and left running unless I'm going out for a few hours in this case, I if it turned off.

    In the night I turned off it. I don't use mode 'sleep', as with the SSD climbing boots Macbook very quickly. But that's just my preference.

    I heard that if you leave your computer connected permanently, a once a month, you must let sink to about 30% and then recharge.

    It is not good to let it drop below 10%.

  • The battery life of MacBook Pro 15 "(released mid-2015)

    How long should my MacBook Pro 15 '' (2015) battery last? " Im getting about a little less than 5 hours and the normal battery status. I turned off Bluetooth and set it automatically adjusts the brightness. Shouldn't I be living out my battery?

    It depends on what you are doing. If you write just a text document, 5 hours is too short. If you navigate all the time and visit the Web site with a lot of Flash or video content, it is good enough.

  • How to remove scratches on the alluminnuim brushed my MacBook Pro (mid-2015)?

    I was given my MacBook for Christmas this year, it was all new etc so I assume full responsibility for the stripes. However when it comes to Apple, I'm a neat true geek. I took good care of her, I lent my dad one day of work, I think it's where he may have scratched him.

    I am looking if there are ways to remove them. Scratches are not deep at all, there are a few small on the bottom of the Macbook, but on top, it was a long boring and ugly. I have read other forums, but they date back to 2009-2011 and I'm pretty sure Apple have improved materials since then.

    Please can someone help?

    At best, you will find products that will tend to make them less visible.  There is no way to remove them, unless you mill all the surface and is not practical.  You will have to live with them.

    Ciao.

  • Leave the battery in or out

    I guess this applies to all laptops, but since I have my T400 connected almost exclusively to food, should I leave the battery in or out?

    In other words, is the aging of the battery faster because it is in a constant state of charge (in) or it would last longer if I removed it while the computer connected to the power supply?

    Thank you.

    leave the battery in won't hurt, if you are not using your battery which keep well the battery around 40 to 60%. Then go into your power manager thinkvantage in respect of the maintenance of the battery. Set the level to minimum load to near 20% and maximum level between 40 and 60%.

    Now unplug your power supply, then run the battery around 60%, then reconnect your power back. This should maximize your battery life.

    Also, if you use the 65 watts, the laptop adapter speed Accelerator (CPU speed will be capped) If you do not have the battery plugged.

    I use my MacBook Air as a desktop computer. Should I leave the charger plugged all the time or should I drain the battery and then recharge? What is the best for the battery?

    Keep the computer plugged in whenever possible.

    If you keep the computer always connected, make sure that at least twice a month

    Run it on battery until battery charge level falls to about 40-50%.

    Please don't completely discharge the battery. Discharge the battery completely will reduce wear and tear on the battery.

    "The question is often asked:" should I disconnect my laptop from the mains when not in service? Under normal circumstances it should not be necessary because as soon as the lithium-ion battery is full, a properly functioning charger will stop the load and load the pad will only engage when the battery voltage drops to a low level. Most of the users do not remove AC power, and this practice is safe. »

  • Satellite A200: Should I remove the battery when working on the power supply

    Hello

    I've been running an A200 machine for the last 2 months, bought as a desktop replacement in order to fit in my small apartment. I realize now that I never ued work on battery - it is always powered on sector. Since this is unlikely to change, should I remove the battery? Deing battery degrades remaining in the machine while it is continusouly by the industry feeding, or does it not matter?

    Thank you very much in advance for your reviews.

    You can remove it, but it should not be done. For me, it's stupid to remove the battery and let the dust make the battery place dirty. The batteries we use today are very good and Scott wrote the electronic power supply just to check if the battery is full and care the battery and the battery capacity.
