[QUOTE="iMarco, post: 1027490, member: 56101"] I have a macbook pro with a dead battery. If I run it on battery power, it would turn off in less than three minutes of use. I'm just about to go out and buy a new one but I wanted to make sure to do the right thing. I have three questions: 1) Once I get my new battery, should I use it right out of the box until it discharges and then charge it up again while it's off? Or is there something else i need to do? 2) Are there steps I need to know about with this new battery? I don't want it to die on me. I use my laptop on the AC adapter for too long sometimes. How often should I use it on batt power? 3) Can I switch back to my dead battery when I'm going to use the laptop on ac power for a long time? Or should I just throw that away. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
