Is it better to fully deplete the battery, or recharge periodically at say, 50% used?

AnswerAlways recharge when you can.
Old NiCad batteries should be depleted all the way before being recharged.
All the other batteries that you are likely to run into, including NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride), LiP (Lithium Polymer), and LiI (Lithium Ion), should never be run all the way out, and should be recharged at every opportunity.
Running these batteries all the way out can DRAMATICALLY shorten the lifetime of the battery. I bought an iPod from a guy who religiously ran his battery down every time he used the device, and it took less than six months for his battery to last less than 15 minutes.- Answered by Adam L from San Francisco

Best AnswerNo. The 5 hour battery in the MacBook Pro (Late 2008) is a different shape and a different technology than the 7 hour battery introduced with the MacBook Pro (Early 2009). They are incompatible.

Best AnswerI've been running my macbook for around 11 hours a day and its starting to slow down and i've had it for 10 months. If you go into system profiler (under utilities in the applications folder) and go under power on the right hand side if you scroll down to have a look at the thing below cycle count, it says condition (either good, normal or bad) the battery will last about 5 hours (ish) if it says normal, about 2/3 hours if it says normal and around 0-5 mins if it says bad. So your battery probably won't need changing for long after your 1 year warranty runs out!
