Using the MacBook Pro Battery

When the MagSafe power adapter isn’t connected, your MacBook Pro draws power

from its battery. The length of time that you can run your MacBook Pro varies,

depending on the applications you use and the external devices connected to your

MacBook Pro. Turning off features such as AirPort Extreme or Bluetooth

®

wireless

technology can help conserve the battery charge.

If the battery runs low while you’re working, attach your power adapter and let the

battery recharge. To replace a low battery with a charged one when you aren’t using a

power adapter, shut down your MacBook Pro and follow the steps on page 35.

You can determine the charge left in the battery by looking at the battery level

indicator lights on the battery. Press the button next to the lights and the lights will

glow briefly to show how much charge is left in the battery. You can check the charge

with the battery in or out of your MacBook Pro.
