Battery Calibration

[brushedred]

When calibrating the battery, is it better to do a quick drain with a dvd or cd burning or a slow drain with the brightness all the way down or does it not matter?

I don't really think it matters too much. I always do a quick drain to kill the battery.

Uph... a dumb question, but how do you calibrate the battery?

I usually open up like 4 hulu movies and screen at full brightness and let it drain... Seems to work ok with me 😱

After the battery is drained is the 5 hours absolutely necessary. Would 3-4 hours cut it??

Hey Guys,

A slightly off topic question, but when I'm at home is it better for the long term health of my battery to have the MBP plugged in to the wall as much as possible?

Thanks!
