[QUOTE="Waterpolo820, post: 603954, member: 47035"] Well this topic is GREATLY debated. But I use my MBP as a desktop too. What I do is keep the battery in, because if you don't the computer WILL slow down, and keep it plugged in all the time. All you have to do is Calibrate it once every month to keep the electrons in the battery moving. I've had my MBP for about a month now and ever since I've calibrated it, it has stayed at a constant 97% battery health. One cycle is a full charge and discharge, this can happen by 2 50% cycles, or 4 25% discharges, etc. etc. But the number one killers of laptop batteries is heat, so I suggest not keeping it on your lap, because it will heat up quite a bit. Something that I have found out is the people that worry more about their batteries end up having the problems. So treat normally, unplug when you need to move around, and plug in when your sitting there. [/QUOTE]
