Do the 2017 MacBook Pro's still need to have the battery calibrated?

I've heard both yes and no but being so accustomed to this I have calibrated my battery 1ce already in the 3 weeks I've had this. Does calibrating still hold true?

Thank you!

The battery does not need that procedure --- but if it makes you feel better, it shouldn't cause any problems.
(If you do this, try to not allow the battery to drain completely to 0%)
How often? Once or twice a year, at most.

Finally, use your new MBPro as you like it. The battery will likely withstand your attempts at prolonging its life. 🙂

Like most rechargeable lithium batteries, it does not.

However, most of the same care and safety guidelines still apply that were applicable to the MBP batteries that needed calibration.
