Since my last issue #207 , I did full battery battery calibration at that time. But yesterday, only about 3 weeks later, I have this issue again. So I have to do battery calibration again! Which means the battery calibration should be done every three weeks? I doubt the effect on battery life span under such a recurrent deep exhaust and deep charge behavior.

Hi @halqin,
thanks for reporting back again. What was your exact behavior the last three weeks? Did you just let it plugged in at a certain percentage or did you charge it a little bit? Normally, it should be enough to use it in battery mode just for a half cycle to avoid this issue. I never had this issue even after weeks of not charging my MacBook. However, I never used it for many months without charging at least once

I set it charge to 60% (always). Because I know 60% should be a "safe" value. Sometimes I also use battery during these 3 weeks, in my living room, in my dining-table etc.. nothing special manipulate.

This almost sounds like the exact same usage behavior I have with my MacBook but my battery calibration seems to be fine with one full cycle every 4-6 weeks.
