[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1286475, member: 24160"] My wife has a MB, now 50 months old, which she has [B]never[/B] unplugged from the wall outlet. It has been used on battery during that time only when I borrowed it. The last time I checked it about a month ago, the original battery had less than 30 cycles, it has been calibrated exactly two times - only because I had borrowed and used it until it died - and the current capacity is currently 5% higher than original. Meanwhile, my 56 month old MBP, used 65-70% plugged in and 30-35% unplugged with monthly calibrations as recommended by Apple is now on it's 3rd battery with replacement after the battery hit 1-1.5 hours max uptime. Read Apple's recommendations at: [url]http://www.apple.com/batteries/[/url] - Follow all the links and educate yourself. After you've done that, it's [B]your[/B] computer. Disregard what everyone else says about the battery in [B]your[/B] computer, iPod, iPad, iPhone, Blackberry, HTC, Android device, car, boat, TV remote, mouse, shall I go on??? Use the thing the way [B]you[/B] need to use it. Forget about the freaking battery the same as you do with every other device you use that has a battery, keeping in mind what you've gleaned from Apple's recommendations and replace the battery when it needs it.
