  • I repair Macs. Just use basic lithium battery practices:

    • mostly keep charge between 30-80%
    • charge fully if you are about to use
    • long term storage with a 70% charge
    • don’t run down to empty if you can help it
    • don’t leave plugged in all the time
    • avoid prolonged temperature extremes
    • avoid shitty chargers, Apple chargers are expensive but generally worth it

    Beware of add-ons that access hardware, for various reasons.

    Apple batteries are rated for around 1000 cycles, or around 5 years of average use. Follow the above advice and you might eke out 1500 or so.
