A laptop's battery is essential to keep it up and running, so you want to make sure to keep it in the best shape possible. There are a number of ways you can do so, as long as you are focused on the long-term viability of your computer.

The great news about Apple computer batteries is that they are durable and built to last, as long as you take the right steps to protect them from any possible outside damage.

Here are a few tips to help keep your laptop's battery in top working shape:

• Maintain a steady temperature: When charging your computer, make sure it is in a room as close to 70 degrees as possible. If you stray too far from this temperature, the battery's charge could have damaging effects on the laptop.
• Prepare for long-term storage: For those situations where you are storing your laptop away for an extended period of time, it is ideal to keep the battery at a 50 percent charge. Storing it in a completely discharged state can push it to the point where it can no longer hold a charge at all, and keeping it full can shorten its lifespan.
• Use the right charger: If you are going away or are using your laptop anywhere but your home, you want to make sure that you also take your specific charger with you. Chargers that are not built for the specific machine or are of poor quality can harm the battery irreparably.
