Hi, I'm talking about the older "Penryn" MBPs here. I have one, and I usually don't use the battery (I run it on AC supply, usually it stays in one plcae, I take the battery out). Does this affect the case? Will it reduce support for the case? Who else does not use their battery?

decide to use my battery after all

Well I wanted to preserve battery health because I hardly take it around, and leave it at 50%, but hearing that it lowers clock speed, I have decided to use it again.
