[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 971254, member: 24160"] I recommend keeping it plugged in whenever you are sitting next to an outlet. Use it on battery when you're not. In general, it should be used the way the owner "wants" to use it, just keeping in mind the general recommendations. My wifes' MB is only used at home, now about 30 months old stays connected to power at all times, 'cepting when I borrow it. 24 cycles at this point, has been calibrated one time, and it's current max capacity is higher than original. I would never suggest someone unplug it from power just because the battery is at a full charge. That is a waste of the limited # of cycles any battery can take. [/QUOTE]
