how to increase battery life?

[tm0000]

What is the best way to increase lifespan of the battery on the MBP? I heard that it's a good idea to completely (or almost completely) drain the battery before plugging it in again? Let's say I use it (not plugged in) up to 45%.. should I plug it in or let it drain to at least 10%?

Thank you!

Disable Spotlight in System Preferences...
It's a battery drain;

I've heard what you wrote, but also heard it's a very small change.
They say to let it discharge completely once a month or so,
to keep the battery flowing.

It's worse to leave the charger plugged in all the time,
than anything else...
