How should I care for this replacement battery to maximize life?

Treat it like any lithium-ion laptop battery: avoid extreme temperatures, cycle the charge periodically, and do not keep the MacBook at 100% for prolonged storage. The integrated safety features help, but sensible charging and storage practices extend useful life.

• Avoid full discharge; partial cycles are fine
• If storing long-term, keep around 40–60% charge
