People seem to have got all hung up on batteries, as I mentioned in my answer. It literally has no connection to the question asked. | |

| Dec 24, 2020 at 7:57 | comment | added | Tetsujin | I mean that battery health wasn't in the question. Everybody else seems to have latched onto that as some kind of be all & end all. It wasn't in the question. Batteries last until they die, no matter what you do. The computer itself doesn't need to be shut down. | |
