MBP battery

[DuarteM]

Hi apple fans. I've searched here but I didn't find the answer for my question.

About three days ago, I bought my first Mac, a 13inch MBP. In my old laptop, I used to remove the battery when I was at home and while it had the power adapter plugged in.

In this computer that is obviously not possible, because the battery is not removable. Is there any way to only charge the battery when I want to? In other words, can I use my MBP plugged in without charging the battery?

Thanks,
Duarte

How did you not find the answer when this has been asked a million times?

Anyways, it doesn't continue to charge your battery when it is full, it will stop charging.

Thank you for your answer, but if the battery is not fully charged? Can I run only on A/C power?

Thanks again.

no, why would you want to... and you would know this if you read the faq i just posted for you; it tells you everything you need to know about batteries.

CHARGING
It is also normal that your battery may not charge to 100%. The battery may appear to stop charging between 93 percent and 99 percent, because the batteries are designed to avoid short discharge/charge cycles in order to prolong the overall life of the battery. When it reaches a full charge, the light on your MagSafe adapter will turn green. This indicates that it has stopped charging your battery and you are now running on A/C power with a fully charged battery. It will not overcharge your battery. It's also perfectly safe to let your Mac notebook sleep with A/C plugged in.
