Hey guys,

been a mac user for about 5 years now, and just recently upgraded to the Macbook Pro Retina.

I was wondering if you guys had any advice on preserving battery life? I do the common ones like turn brightness half, bluetooth off etc. If you guys have any tips that would be cool!

my old macbook's battery pretty much died on me but it had over 1000+ cycles though.

Thanks in advance.

You're doing just fine then. The best way to keep LI and LP batteries happy is to use them.

GGJstudios will post the battery FAQ any minute now.
