Hello, everyone! Could you please share best practices of charging your Macbook that you know and follow? I want to extend the life span of my comparatively new Macbook Pro’s battery as much as possible.
Here are my charging practices:
I’ve read that once you reach 1000 recharge cycles, you should replace Macbook battery. That’s what I'm concerned about. So, how can I *save* those cycles?
Please, share your thoughts and tips on this! How do you charge your Macbook? What best charging practices you know?
Here are my charging practices:
- I put my Macbook on charge when it has +/- 20% of battery and then it charges until 100%.
- I have Low Power Mode always turned on.
- I haven’t tried to plug in any external monitor yet.
- I often continue working on my Macbook when the power adapter is plugged in.
I’ve read that once you reach 1000 recharge cycles, you should replace Macbook battery. That’s what I'm concerned about. So, how can I *save* those cycles?
- Is it the right thing to always have Low Power Mode turned on?
- Maybe I shouldn’t charge my Macbook until 100% and stop when it’s around 80% or 90% as with the iPhone (you can come across this advice)?
- OR maybe I should work with the power adapter plugged in when possible or with some periodicity?
- Is it the right thing to do at all to work on MacBook while charging?
