Is this right: I charge my battery, let it get close to 0, and then charge again?

[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1466922, member: 56379"] There of course is another way of looking at things. I'm sure most folks use their iPhone and iPads 100% of the time on battery power. I just don't see doing the same thing with a laptop computer (maybe I'm old fashioned this way)!;) For what it's worth. I'm pretty sure a replacement battery for a MacBook Pro is more expensive than a replacement battery for an iPhone or iPad. I'm also thinking that the average person may hang onto a MacBook Pro longer than an iPhone or iPad (before upgrading to a newer model). So you have to "live" with your MacBook Pro "battery habits" (good or bad) for a longer time with a MacBook Pro. Which possibly could lead to needing to purchase a replacement MBP battery at some point. So if nothing else...you don't want to accumulate unnecessary charge/discharge cycles on a MacBook Pro...simply because the replacement battery is more expensive.;) - Nick [/QUOTE]
