    What is the best/recommended way of charging the battery? I'm just confused in the cycle and calibrating of everything. Please post the do's and don'ts. (i.e. drained the batt before charging,.. etc) Thanks in advance

    Charge it until full. Then use use it unplugged until batt has drained and the Mac sleeps. Then charge again and the Mac should have been calibrated. Do this every few weeks. NOt doing this doesn't harm your Mac but the battery fuel gauge may not be accurate. Seldom happens with new batteries.
