Deep discharge & Heat are common accelerators of swelling. Avoiding going to <10% battery and running aggressive heat dissipation will always help prolong the life.
My favorite is Macs Fan Control[0] for removing heat. 40' the fan is spinning mid range speed and by 50' it's full 6500 rpm.
It's the least I can do =/

- dividedbyzero 6y agoI think I'll rather take the battery performance hit than bear with (near-?)constant fan noise.
- reaperducer 6y agoMy favorite nerd hysteria conspiracy theory is that Apple runs its computers hot and fans loud in order to sell AirPods.
- snazz 6y agoI think the goal of running Macs hot is to prevent the fans from kicking in for most use-cases. If you're running twelve virtual machines and compiling Chromium simultaneously, then you might need earplugs.
- asdff 6y agoBelow a certain rpm you practically cant hear the fans. Even with them screetching, if you are in a room with an ac unit or outside, it would be tough to notice. Never got this gripe personally, as I’ve never had a quiet device in my life. Certainly not from apple.
- trevyn 6y agoFWIW, iStat Menus also does fan control quite well, and the paid version is cheaper. (And it does a lot of non-fan-related things quite well, too.)
