It starts as soon as they are made, for Lithium batteries at least.

Your goal should be to keep the battery between 40%-80%. Every month or so, let it run all the way down to zero before charging it back to 80%. Your welcome.

> Every month or so, let it run all the way down to zero before charging it back to 80%

Yeah, no. Don't do that, I've read before that lithium ion batteries aren't supposed to ever hit zero. Keeping it between 40% and 80% would be optimal.
>>
>>55230740
Do you happen to know if the laptop stops taking charge after 100%? It would be a hassle to keep taking the connector on and off just to keep into those percent ranges. In my system profiler it says:

Fully Charged: Yes
Charging: No

Can I just leave that connector on and discharge once a month as needed?
>>
>>55230774

They're supposed to quit charging once the battery hits 100%, but I honestly do not know. I do know that keeping the laptop (and battery by extension) cool is preferred. The user manuals for Dell at least tell you that if you're not using the battery to store it in a cool place.

Personally, I just keep the battery in and discharge whenever I remember, and it's been 5 years and it still holds 98% charge.
>>
>>55230812
I believe you are also supposed to store batteries at a half charge if your don't plan on using them for a long time, like you said in a cool space
>>
>>55230812
Once the battery hits 100% it will cycle between discharging and slightly charging. Every modern phone/computer/whatever will do this
>>
>>55230940

And I'm assuming that degrades the battery?
>>
>>55230696
This is correct except, possibly, for the discharging part. 40%-80% is optimal. Discharging will let your system calibrate it's battery meter, which is arguably, essential.

>>55230740
Li-ion will never hit zero unless you leave your system discharged for a long time on the shelf. The battery's built-in electronics will shut down your PC and say '0%' long before the battery actually becomes fully discharged.
>>
>>55230847
Storage voltage is approx 80% of max voltage on lithium batteries.
>>
> 40% - 80%
Is it even functional to use a laptop then? That just seems annoying
>>
on modern laptops it shouldn't matter.
Not that I have any idea what that means, I just read it somewhere.

oh wow, a laptop that costs just as much at a macbook pro actually has a battery that isn't terrible
and you only have to pay an extra $75 to get a battery that isn't terrible

also do you have a link to that specific article?
because macbooks have literally no special power saving features when under load, and I bet that that turbo gaymen laptop was running at 3fps on throttled integrated graphics, while the macbook was going balls to the wall

Everything from 2013 to now are literally near identical and Applel still makes mad bank off you idiots paying current day prices for 3 year old hardware. It's hilarious how hard you cucks will defend "muh apel".

Feels good owning the best and only Apple product anyone with a brain should own, their stock. :^)

I will gladly shit on apple for the abortion that the 2015 macbook was, and how the 2013/14 was meh at best.
and I will gladly use my 2012 non retina with a 1680x1050 matte screen until the day they release something new that's worth 2-3 grand for

>>55234918
lol this guy is poor

I'm using a late 2009 macbook right now and it's the best computer I've ever owned. I can't bring myself to buy a new laptop until this one dies, I hope that happens at some point.
