    Leaving MBP plugged in - Good or Bad idea?

    Hello, I was just curious as to whether leaving my 2017 MBP plugged into the charger, while I'm at home is a good/bad idea. I know that nowadays, it is said to not affect the battery life as the laptop starts using AC charge instead of battery power, but I just wanted to know your...

    Question about my tbMBP 2017 13in battery.

    Hello everyone, I'm new to Macs and macOS, so I apologize in advance if I seem ignorant. I got my MBP about a week ago. I checked the "Full Charge Capacity" and it says that it is 4463mAh. Is that low? Thanks!

    Battery capacity drop

    New rMB 2017 with 5 load cycles and battery capacity has already dropped to 96% My experience with MBPs in the past has been a 100% plus capacity and only dropping to 98% or below when more than 100 or so load cycles have registered. Is this normal behaviour for the rMB? Any other data points?

The guy I bought it from gave me a new battery, not OEM for it because it said to replace it now, it was running very sluggish with the old battery. I installed the new battery (off brand) and charged it fully...
