i was speaking with someone yesterday as i was charging my macbook, they said remember to take it out when it's fully charged and let the battery drain so you can refill it again because it's a good cycle to keep the battery fresh. True or False?

However, over charging and over discharging are also bad for battery life. There is a sweet spot in the middle. My laptop's battery management tells me when I need to do a full power cycle to keep my battery good. But you have a mac so I dont know...

most batteries have a memory charge aka it wont work as good if you dont fully charge fully drain but lithium ion batteries are supposed to be superior and not have this flaw but I still find it to happen
