[QUOTE="TattooedMac, post: 1027509, member: 101749"] You should be able to put it in the MBP full charge it before ANYTHING and then use it as you use it. Just do as i stated above and IMO use the AC power as often as you can. A battery life goes on cycles and if you run out of cycles you run out of Battery. To get the absolute maximum out of your battery a calibration usually helps, but have a read of [URL="http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1490"]Apple - Calibrating your battery[/URL] I would be throwing it away. It will do your system no good if you put a old battery in and again as i stated above, use the AC as much as you can. For a portable my battery has had 46 cycles in 10 mnths and its on the AC basically 24/7 [B]Charge Information: Charge remaining (mAh): 4855 Fully charged: Yes Charging: No Full charge capacity (mAh): 4929 Health Information: Cycle count: 46 Condition: Normal Battery Installed: Yes Amperage (mA): -813 Voltage (mV): 12360[/B] Hope this helps some :) TM [/QUOTE]
