STAY FIXED TIP no. 1
- I will try my best to post weekly tips on how to keep our Apple computers healthy and happy.
Battery life is probably one of the most overlooked features of any portable Apple device. Without a decent battery life, your Apple laptop essentially becomes a desktop confined to its home. Here are two tips to maintain a healthy battery.
First download and install Coconut Battery. Coconut Battery is a freeware application that will show you the current health of your battery. It also shows how many times your battery has been charged and how old your Mac is.
The second tip is the most difficult but also the most important. Only charge your computer when your battery is between 0% and 10% or almost completely drained. Then disconnect the charger the moment your battery reads 100% or fully charged and the light indicator on your charger changes from amber to green.
If you can train yourself to only charge your computer in this way you will always have a healthy battery. I have a black MacBook from 2007 that still has a perfect 100% battery life.
Salud to healthy batteries! Until next week.
