Important: Repeat the calibration process every two months or so to keep your battery
fully functioning. If you use your MacBook Pro infrequently, it’s best to recalibrate the
battery at least once a month.
If you purchased additional batteries, follow the calibration procedure with those
batteries as well. For more battery information, see “Using Your Battery” on page 74.
