[QUOTE="walmartconnect, post: 407213, member: 21669"] Besides the weekly/monthly complete discharge to calibrate, I have to disagree with you eric :[. The batteries in our macbooks do not function as the old batteries of days gone by do. They do not need to be constantly discharged and recharged to keep the electrons flowing. I am on my second battery, my first one was used to near death every single day (class, I always sit in the front away from outlets :(). That battery's capacity dwindled much more quickly than this one (plugged in all of the time as I am not in school right now). I completely discharge it once every two weeks for calibration's sake. I'm still testing this theory, but so far it seems pretty accurate. [/QUOTE]
