Well, I read the articles here and at apple.com about battery care and I understood that I can keep it plugged in all the time but at least I must use the battery once per week and charge it again when it fall to about 20% or so..
The thing is that I let it go sleep after few hours of using, so if I keep the charger plugged then it will keep on charging or at least using uneeded electricity and if I took it off then it will lose some juice then when I open it and plug the charger then it will start charging when its for ex. 85%
So whats the best to do knowing that let it go sleep every few hours of using..
Thanks in advance

To make it simple.. What should i do when i let it go into sleep mode..?
Keep it charging or remove the charger, then when I use it again what to do?
N.b I have access to electrisity all the time. -
Read the battery guide.

Yeah, read the battery guide and try to prevent the computer from going through unnecessary life cycles which means that you do not want your battery to be draining unnecessarily. However, you do want it to be used every week or so at the very least, to ensure good battery life in the long run. Most of what I am saying can be found in the battery guide, that is where I learned so much about batteries and preserving their life etc.(and from learning the hard way). SO basically figure out a way that you can do everything that I described and you should be fine.
And when you actually use the battery, be sure to only drain it to 10-20% before recharging, to ensure better battery health. You have mentioned it before on your first post, and you are totally right about it. Good job.
MBA Battery Care, advice please!
