I plug it in when it needs charging, unplug it when it doesn't. I regularly use my 2013 MBP for photography and video editing workflows and have never used any "battery health" apps. Just pissed at the 3-4 guys I asked DO we still NEED to still drain the batteries once a month THAT SAID NO!!Ĭlick to expand.These are the most honest, realistic answers. Then in Dec 2020, I went to put a 1TB SSD in my MacBook Pro 15/2015, and when I took the bottom off POOF, the Batteries all Expanded and I had to end up gettin a new top casing put in with a new battery.ĭefinitely don't just leave your devices plugged in for 6 months straight, "exercise the muscle memory" as a recent "genius" told me. I turned an iPhone 5s into Apple a year ago, then an iPhone 6 Plus and iPhone 4 just ballooned and cracked the screens and I just threw the last two away. This is a false statement, I had over 3 iOS devices and 1 Mac that had the Battery BLOAT/BALLOON, because I didn't Quote-un-Quote "Exercise the Muscle" of the Battery. Back in the day (2000-2010), there was a NOTE, that said, if you use your PowerBook, or MacBook plugged in you should at least ONCE a month drain the battery to around 10% and then charge the battery back up.īUT Then around 2013, there was a notice that you DIDN'T have to do this anymore because the batteries were smart enough and such-n-such (BS). I'd ideally like to continue not being bothered about any of this stuff, but seeing as it's early int he life of this product, would like to avoid doing any unneccessary harm. is keeping it in sleep mode all the time okay, e.g. is it worth using a battery management app/tool? any issues with regularly charging it to 100%? if I regularly let the battery level get to below 10-20% before charging, is this okay? I've never really been bothered about optimum charging, or any best practices when it comes to the battery, but I've seen various messages around the web (and with regard to other products like phones), so much so that I'm wondering if this is something I should follow? There seems to be conflicting advice as to what's right and what's wrong. I've been using it untethered quite a bit lately because I've been working from home for about 10 months now and I'm tired of my desk! However, at some point again it'll be a mixture of being tethered to desk and using portably around the house. It's currently 17, and I've had the notebook for four months - I'm assuming that's okay. All been great so far, just been getting used to upgrading from an 11" MBA. I upgraded to a 13" MBP back in early September.
