MacBook Pro Battery

[Seth]

I've read that having it fully charged significantly reduces the maximum charge over time. The battery has a log that knows how many times the battery has been used to below 75%. Everytime this happens it logs it as a charge cycle and apparently there's only so many cycle's before the battery 'ends' itself. They said every once in a while it's good to use the battery down to 1% then fully recharge.
If storing for a longer period of time then reduce charge to about 50% and store in the fridge.

There's a program called coconutbattery. It can display the max. Capacity.

I'm getting it this moment so I'll have more impressions in a bit.

I used coconut to check the heath of my first battery, which was at like 5%. Apple replaced that one, since it was under warranty. I've since bought another battery and haven't had any problems with it yet. I wonder if Apple provides warranties for the stand-alone batteries.
