I got my 13" MBP for Christmas and was wondering about battery conditioning. I found a procedure on Apple's site that tells you to charge the battery to 100%, then leave it plugged in for at least 2 hours, then unplug it and let it run all the way down until it shuts off then leave it unplugged for at least 5 hours after that, then charge it back up again. It recommends doing this every few months.

How much benefit will this give me? It's a pretty convoluted process but if I could time the 5 hour block during the night I guess it wouldn't be much of a problem. Just wondering if this is something that most Macbook owners do. I came from an iMac so this is new to me.

Thanks
Todd
