[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1761555"] You saidwhich makes me think you are treating the battery as if it were the older chemistry. The battery in the MBP is LiIon and does not need to be fully discharged like the old NiCad and NiMH batteries. In fact, it prefers to be kept in the 40%-80% range at a minimum. I run my MBP on mains power most of the time, have only 11 cycles in the last year total. To have used 9 in less than a month is pretty hard usage. If you need to, use the battery, but if you can avoid it and use mains power, your battery will appreciate that. [/QUOTE]
