Recondition Your Mac Notebook Battery
To get the most performance out of your Mac notebook’s battery, you need to recondition the battery by cycling it. Cycling a battery means letting it completely discharge and then fully recharging it again. Most Mac notebook batteries slowly lose their charging capacity over time. For example, if you can use your Mac notebook on batteries for 4 hours today, later on you’ll only be able to run the computer for 3 hours on a full charge. You cannot stop this process, but you can delay it significantly by periodically cycling the battery. You should cycle your Mac notebook battery once a month or so.
