I have a question, how to maximize Macbook's battery lifespan? I mean, should I let the plug stay there or disconnect when its full? Also what percentage should I let my battery fall down to before I charge it back?
This is really confusing, some said I should disconnect their computer from the mains power supply, some said dont. Help me.
haaaaaaaaaaaaaalp
limit your charge cycles to maximize your battery life.
or destroy your battery in 1 year and AppleCare that shit.

Don't let your battery fall below 17% charge. That's the point where the jews at Apple start to deliberately sabotage your battery life because you're a "power user."
At the same time, don't let it get about 76%, because Apple's firmware will think you are always on the charger and boost performance by fucking your battery over.
Don't disconnect the computer from the mains power supply.
Hope this helps!

limit my charge cycles? but i'll charge everytime it drops to 75%, coz what I found on google it says I shouldnt let my battery down to 0%. 0% to 100% counts as 1 cycle, is that true?

Woah chill out John, did you still mad about I'm banging your mom?

So no one answering this?

Don't constantly leave the laptop connected to mains, it will destroy the battery and its how people end up with batteries that last like 15 minutes
Everything else people say is usually just anecdotal bullshit really. I got my macbook serviced a few months ago, and I swear I checked the apple website and it said to charge your computer when it fell to around 50% back up to full when possible, but it seems to be removed now and they only give some tips for long-term storage. Realistically I'm probably remembering the information from a different website, not the apple site.

His reasoning is bullshit, but the idea that you should never fully deplete a Li-ion Battery is sound.
Has to do with the chemistry or some shit.

again, has to do with chemistry, in general go from 100 to about 30/25 and back up.
