It's not like an HDD or a tape where not going to full empty will not touch that part of the item: discharging is discharging and it will help keep battery condition even if you run it for 30 minutes. AppleCare support, however, recommends that if you leave your Mac plugged in most of the time, unplug it every 2 or 3 days and run on battery down to somewhere around 50%, then plug it back in. That keeps the electrons moving at the best pace. | |
