I always have two batteries, and I number them. About once a month I unplug AC and let it go down to sleep. Plug it back in again in the morning and let it top off, and that afternoon I switch it with the one in my bag.

Keeps both batteries charged and experiencing a periodic deep cycle. Has done well by my so far, and I'm on mac laptop number 6. Wallstreet, tibook, albook, newer albook, mbp, newer mbp.

I upgrade fairly frequently, every 2-3 years, and can really get to using my batteries, but every time I've sold a computer it's gone with two good batteries still in it.


I work for the Department of Redundancy Department
