[QUOTE="krepta, post: 755114, member: 73605"] I heard that the battery's lifespan is based on number of charge cycles, not time. 1 cycle being: discharge, recharge. So wouldn't leaving it plugged in and cycling between 96 and 100%, instead of something like 10 and 100%, burn it out quicker? (or does it switch off the battery and run exclusively off the AC when full?) I'm on a regular MacBook (intel) and I want to leave it plugged in more often. I'm considering taking the battery out when it's running off AC. [/QUOTE]
