[QUOTE="iggibar, post: 937303, member: 97843"] Apple doesn't state to do a discharge "once" a month, they say to do it "at least" once a month. I have been charging my mbp to full, then running off battery till it turned off, then plugging it back in. This is the only way I have charged my mbp's battery since the first day I got it...with the exception of an accidental overnight charge... My mbp is running past 7 months old and my battery is at 99% health. Coincidence, I don't think so... I haven't had experience with laptop lithium polymer batteries, but have had with smaller items, but unlike those 2 cell packs that I had, the macbooks know how to safely discharge the battery. When I had 2-4 cell li-po batteries, I would have to check the charge with a meter so it would not destroy itself on charging/discharging. My experience with the mbp's li-po battery have been amazing so far! [/QUOTE]
