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%.

    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.

  • Apple will replace the battery for my MacBook Pro to the retina when in-store?

    Hi, the battery must be replaced on my MacBook Pro of retina, but I don't want to send it and pick up within 2 weeks. They will replace when I'm in the store? The guarantee also ended 2 weeks ago that I'd be able to show them, and they would be understanding and do it for free? Personally, I think that £125 for a battery is charges and it's a shame that it's over 2 weeks ago. Thank you!

    well - it depends on the discrection of one you get. I'd be inclined to say "no, they can't do it for free. As for how long that will take, well. again, you will need to enter and take a go-genius bar. What I can say is to be nice and polite, and maybe you could get lucky

    Thank you very much

    The CMOS battery swap is not so simply, and to do this you need to disassemble the laptop everything.
    Can you do that as a beginner?
    It's maintenance manual isn't public document and how to explain the exact disassembly steps now.

    Have you tried to load the CMOS battery properly? Leave laptop on the power supply more than 48 hours and it must be fully charged again.

  • How to recharge the battery of digital camera WX220 disc Cybersht

    Cyibershot Sony to the Canada WX220. We live in Italy... How to charge the battery he's dead?

    Don't have a charger battery here in Italy and could not find one in the store

    Try to use another USB port on your laptop (if it exists) and see if will charge. Some laptops will have 1 USB port with a higher output voltage. If you can not always charge the battery, then you need to get a charger. Check in other stores where cameras are sold locally and see if they can help you. If this isn't the case, then you will need to order one online. With a good charger if it still doen't load so its likely you will need to have the camera repaired.

    Edit: Also make sure that your laptop does not go to sleep while it loads.

  • Bad battery live on Sat M35X - how to reset the battery meter?

    Hello world

    I have a few years old Satellite M35X-S149, no problem so far however I have been affected by the life of the very poor battery (like 10 minutes of full load at 0%). I've reconfigured the power options so that she wouldn't do anything even when the battery went to 0% (not set auto standby extended) and it runs for another 45-60 minutes after 0% battery.

    So I guess the battery is faulty but not dead, and in my opinion, there is a sort of 'meter' that does not work as assumed, is it possible to reset o calibrate?

    Anyone ran into this same problem?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    I can give you a tip how to recalibrate the battery:

    1. the battery should be fully charged to 100%
    2. then you will need to change the profile of powersaving as follows-> Hibernate & standby off, disable the options that cuts off the machine when you batt. stabilize so that the machine stops when the battery is at 0%
    3 let the machine work for how long does the battery last
    4. once the machine stops itself when the battery is COMPLETELY empty, let the battery charge (the laptop must be turned off)
    5. check if it worked and repeat the operation if the result does not satisfy you
    6. in the case of NO success, I would replace the battery

    Welcome and good luck

    Can someone please tell me how to recalibrate the battery.

    Hello

    You can calibrate the battery very easily.
    Disconnect the power adapter and leave the laptop disconnected until the battery is completely discharged.
    Then plug in the power adapter and charge the battery until the battery indicator (LED) would turn to green.
    This must be done and repeated 2 - 3 times in the line.
