TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
If you're always using the MBP on the mains, run the battery from 100%
down to 5% (not 30%) about once a month, then charge it fully up before
disconnecting it (of course, you can use it during that time) from the
mains.
If you're storing the battery for any length of time (I have two, and
alternate them), run it down to about 50% before storing. Recharge to full
within 3 months (TIP: set up an iCal reminder for this or you'll forget,
trust me!).
