I also constantly keep my laptop connected to a docking station (around 95% of the time I'm using the laptop). My previous laptop (a Dell XPS13) became pretty much unusable without a power source after only two years of usage. I've bought a brand new MacBook Pro now and I don't want the same thing to happen with this device. Did you do anything new after you got your battery repaired? I was thinking is there a system that stops the laptop from charging and allows the laptop to discharge to a certain point. | |
