i'm using the "thing(don't know what should i call it - grey colour" that cover the whole macbook pro when i purchase one last time to put my mbp battery in to protect and avoid dents or scratch. but i lost the "grey cover", so i'm trying to find something like case logic for that big dimension
(MBP Battery Dimensions: 8.3 x 6.4 x 2.3 inches) but i can't found it on9. can i know how all of u protect ur battery when u don't use it and what u use to put in the battery when u don't use it ?

Edit: Sorry, posted for wrong topic...

@suiryuu,
U mean u take the batt out of the laptop and keep the batt separately when ur on power connection?

If it's not too much trouble, perhaps u could just keep it back in the box, otherwise just find a bag or something to keep it in? I find it a hassle to 'disconnect' the battery each time i'm on power supply so i just leave it there Plus my MBP can be on for days at a time so i need the batt plugged in

I hope the casing you are looking for is for an ADDITIONAL battery. Macbooks run the processor are lower speeds without the battery installed..

I guess you could just put it in the storage compartment of your laptop bag. I haven't seen much of a "battery" bag. Try bookstores perhaps and get a pencil case.

yes i mean i unplug my battery after charged and when i use power adapter to run my mbp. yeah i'm finding those bag to put my battery safely and protect it. but seems hard to find one. that's y i'm posting those topic and ask u guy

@suiryuu,
I don't think there's a particular bag for batt - u can just look around and see if u see any bag of which its size is suitable and just get it. It can / might even be one of those free bags/pouch ur gf/wife/mom might get free from their cosmetic purchases

Yes, I am advising you to put the battery back in the MBP.

The reason behind this is when your Mac detects there is no battery, the processor does not run at full speed. If you want to prolong your battery life, just make sure to drain the battery a few months and recharge completely. Removing the battery is unnecessary.

Added on January 9, 2008, 10:53 pmOne more thing, your battery won't "overcharge". Once the battery is fully charged, the charging is cut off and power is consumed directly from the adapter. Hope this clears things up.

Yups... and that's Y i never bothered to unplug my batt from the MBP.

I didn't know about the processor not being used at its optimum speed though when batt pack's out but I do know now

lol when i purchase my macbook pro last time i think is when i'm form5 (december around christmas) that person tell me if after fully charge if want to use power adapter then better unplug the battery just run with the power adapter. now i know then. sure trust those mac user here. know more about those working in shop de. ok then i know it. i just put it back in my macbook pro.

well so now i got another question about charging battery (sorry out of topic), so mean i use it until the battery drain then i charge it. so when charging that time is it mean that i can use my macbook pro ? i get this link for apple can explain to me ?

@suiryuu,
Yes u can use ur MB when it's being charged i do that all the time

well sorry noob question again, i'm asking "charging" that time can i use my mbp ? of course "charged" i can use my mbp with batt. is it everytime drain all my batt then i charge is better compare to "like i still have 50% batt life then i connect the power adapter" is it not that good to do that ?

@suiryuu,
1) Yes u can use ur MBP when you are charging your MBP
2) You don't need to drain your battery completely before each charge; do it once a couple of months should be sufficient.

Your batt won't last forever even if you dont' use it, u know?

yes i know, thx for advice. but i just use it seldom last time. a month few times. and when presentation.

@suiryuu,
You can continue doing what ur doing if it makes u feel more comfortable There's really no rules to it
