FYI, for best battery life with lithium ion batteries, you need to run
them through at least one charge/discharge cycle per month.   Apple
has a page on this:

I've had customers that leave a laptop plugged in on a desk for a
year, and then are shocked to find that the battery is dead when they
finally unplug it.
