Thanks. I will give that a try.
LOL! I had it on the charger yesterday, and I needed to move it after the green light came on. I had only closed the lid. When I turned the light off in the room, I saw it had a little white light on the side, but didn’t perceive what that might be.
I went to bed. Woke early this morning, and realized ... oops. I had not pushed the off button. Closing the lid does not shut it off. Fortunately, my sleep cycle was shorter than the battery discharge cycle!
I’ll report back!
Thanks again!
You do not need to unplug or turn off a Mac. The Mac actually takes care of general housekeeping duties while it sleeps. In fact the best way to keep a Mac up to snuff is to never turn it off. Just close the lid and let it go to sleep. The system handles the charging.
Nor do you need to worry about the batteries. They do not get a memory like older batteries did. They'll be fine. You do not ever have to discharge it to nothing. Just let your Mac handle it for you. Even if you do accidentally allow it to get to the point of battery exhaustion, the Mac will save whatever work you have in progress and shut down before exhaustion for you.
