To maximise the life span of any rechargeable battery you should fully recharged then fully discharge, it's not a mac thing it's a battery thing.

There's a good dashboard widget, iStat pro that will monitor the health of your battery. It also monitor fans, temperatures, network, disks, memory and cpu usage. It's a free app and you can get from the main apple store. My battery health check is telling me that my batteries health is 98%, that after 250 cycles. I believe thats pretty good.

Anyway MadGamer how are you liking your new Mac.
