I just bought new MBP and want to keep battery healthy as long as possible. 90% of the time i am using it at home and plugged into AC (ie not using battery)

is there a program that can keep battery healthy by cycling battery for me?

any suggestions of programs that could be useful for me would help.

and no i dont want to unplug and replug my power adapter in b myself to cycle the battery.

thanks.
 
The modern batteries in the MBP don't need any special treatment. The 10% of time that you have it running on the battery will be good for it, but don't make it a routine just for the battery's sake.
