The credibility of the whole story fell to the floor when he said that sleep mode would kill more batteries because they fail when completely discharged. Apple has had top notch battery protection for years. Totally draining a macbook battery to failure has not been possible for many years.
- willtim 10y agoContinued deep discharge does however shorten the life of lithium ion batteries.
- mianos 10y agoI'd really like to see a recent reference on how much. Given the discharge maintaining the batteries is very small and very manageable I highly doubt it is significant over any lesser depth with these lipo batteries manufactured specifically for Apple.
