Should I remove my battery from my macbook Al?

If I am using my macbook Al "for-days-on-end" connected to a 24"LED Display should I remove the battery or does it not matter?
I read Li-ion batteries are not affected and have a set lifespan no matter how long or how many times you charge them - but wanted to confirm this info.
Thanks!

Leave the battery in. Running it a few hour a week without external power may extend the battery life a bit. If you run without the batter, it won't run at full speed.

    Agree with RX8, the battery had been designed inside the machine, not an easy job to take it off.

    Hi there,
    this is my first post here so I may have picked the wrong section for this thread.
    Yesterday I got my first MSI laptop, a GS60 2PE (the full HD one..had a very good deal). I don't plan to carry it a lot but more about staying at home and doing 3D modeling and videogame, so I think I will stress it a lot. Should I remove the battery and keep going with the AC adapter?
    I read a lot of review before buying it. Some of them thought that the hot temperature was due to cpu,gpu AND the battery, so maybe removing the battery will give a bit of space for air ventilation without having another component getting warm.
    Doing this will mean turning off the hybrid system. Is that worth it?

    Connect the iOS device to your computer and restore via iTunes. Place the iPod in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.

  • The storage/removal of files from my MacBook Air as they pertain to a Keynote Presentation

    A question about the storage/removal of files from my MacBook Air as they pertain to a Keynote Presentation.
    I have a rather sizeable Keynote (about 7GB) since it has several QT Movies embedded.  And the key word is embedded:  if I was to remove the “original” QT files and other large graphics off the HD (in an effort to regain some space on the 250GB onboard flash drive) and in Keynote Preferences I have checked “copy audio and movies into document” then the Keynote presentation remains intact and does NOT need any of those QT files living on the MBAir itself.  I could keep them on a separate dedicated FW drive for future inclusion and/or editing. 
    That is – the Keynote presentation will stand as its own complete file and does not need to reference those files sitting on the HD in order to work as they have been copied into the Keynote presentation itself (and hence their propagation is what is also accounting for the disc space concern).
    I am concerned that if I remove the files then the slides that do require QT won’t be able to “find” the files…..but I am working under the assumption that the above steps have ensured that they are integrated into the actual presentation file and do not need to “find” them on the HD.  Make sense?
    Thanks
    Theo

    Great!  Thanks so much for the quick reply, Gary  Much appreciated.

  • Remove a USB from a MacBook Pro

    Hi,
    Can someone help me please. I can't remove a USB from MacBook Pro because I don't see it on the desktop and does appear in the Finder.
    Thanks.

    Remove the USB drive.  Open Terminal and type 'diskutil list'.  You should see something like this:
    /dev/disk0
       #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
       0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *500.1 GB   disk0
       1:                        EFI                         209.7 MB   disk0s1
       2:                  Apple_HFS Macintosh HD            499.2 GB   disk0s2
       3:                 Apple_Boot Recovery HD
    Now insert the USB drive.  Type 'diskutil list' again.  Do you see something different, e.g. /dev/disk1, that didn't appear the first time?  This will tell you whether the drive is mounting or not.
