New macbook coming...is it better to run the battery out and then charge or just charge whenever? I know so many things have changed since I last had a pc laptop, but just curious as I am going to dive right in and figure out the Mac.
Ok, but after the inital use...should I always practice draining it before charging or can I charge halfway through without ill effect to the life of the battery itself?
actually there is a problem with that. continuously draining and charging the battery will decrease the lifespan of it, so it's best to adopt a habit of randomly charging the battery to simulate "normal" use. just read the following links for more info:Yep, there's no problem with that.
