Storing my Macbook

[Sundance2007]

Since I got my iPad I don't use my Macbook that much. What is the best way to store it when not in use? Should I store it with the battery in or out and should I periodically charge the battery? If so how often?

Thanks

Long-Term Storage
If you don’t plan on using your notebook for more than six months, Apple recommends that you store the battery with a 50% charge. If you store a battery when it’s fully discharged, it could fall into a deep discharge state, which renders it incapable of holding any charge. Conversely, if you store it fully charged for an extended period of time, the battery may experience some loss of battery capacity, meaning it will have a shorter life. Be sure to store your notebook and battery at the proper temperature. (See “Notebook Temperate Zone.”)

This should answer most, if not all, of your battery questions:
