[QUOTE="XJ-linux, post: 1097272, member: 33722"] Short answer: unplug it with some frequency to get the best battery life. NOTE: I had a Late 2008 2.53Ghz MBP that was plugged in constantly for about 1.5 years. The battery lasted an honest hour and a half with about 20% brightness, Wireless N browsing and email, and iTunes music in the background. I spent a week of evenings after work, before a business trip, unplugging it and running off the battery until the warning popped up. After 7 or 8 days I was seeing about 2 and a half hours of run time. Point being: sedentary batteries lose efficiency, but they can be brought up to speed fairly quickly in my experience. [/QUOTE]
