Alright so I just bought a brand spanking new macbook pro and I have some questions regarding the battery. I've done a crap load of google searching and have received mixed results. Basically what I've deduced is that I should be using the battery and discharge to about 25ish % about once a week give or take. Other times I should use it while plugged in.
I should calibrate it once every 6-8 weeks which I will do but one unanswered question is what about over night? Take right now for example, it's plugged in and charged at 100%. I understand macbooks use a trickle charge to keep the battery 100% charge so it doesn't naturally lose any charge but this seems bad if it's kept in over night.
So, when I go to bed tonight and shut off the mac should I leave it plugged in or unplug the mac? And then only plug it in when I turn it on and use it again. I feel like the correct answer should be unplugging it overnight but I could be wrong.
Another question, what is a good cooling pad I could get? I've heard good ones do wonders for the battery so I might as well invest in one.
