notebook is a 10 year old macbook pro without macos I installed xubuntu 24.04 in. It comes with an embedded battery.
First notebook I bought, not from apple, had a removable battery. The vendor told me to maximize its life I shouldn’t plug the battery in, unless I need it (like for traveling). This way, I’ve managed to keep the original battery in good working condition for 8 years so far.
Back to the macbook: I cannot remove the battery and constantly loading it to up to 80% and discharge it up to 20% seems ridiculous. Furthermore, this would deplete the battery even faster, I believe.
What can I do to spare the battery as much as possible?
just to be clear, you mean removing the battery, or do you mean using a command?
Yeah just physically opening the case and unplugging the battery. Idk, I just read MacBook Pro, I never had a Mac because I hate the company partly because of their non-repairability, so maybe you can’t even take the battery out without dissolving some glue or some shit. For all the laptops I had so far, it was just unscrewing some screws and then you can unscrew/unplug/replace the components within.
