Typographic Macbook Decals Reminds You to Give a Hoot, Don’t Leave Your Mac Book Plugged in
June 16th, 2010
These great typographic laptop stickers for your MacBook were created by Hu2 Design in collaboration of the French designer r.ferrer. They definitely make your MacBook look stand out in a crowded coffee house.
They serve as a reminder to unplug your laptop once it’s completely charged up, otherwise your battery will deteriorate faster. Also, it will use twice as much electricity. The stickers will also protect the laptop case from scratches. Of course, once you peel them off, you’ll probably have scratches in the form of an inverse typographic pattern.
These stickers are just an example of the many different ones available in Hu2′s online store. Most of them sell for £19 (appx. $28 USD). There are even some cool ones for your iMac.

Its a nice sticker but the explenation is wrong. When the battery is charged it bad to unplug it. When its fully charged the charging process is stopped. Charging is not just a direct connection to battery cells. There is a microprocessor wich measures if the battery if full and then disconnects it from the power source. The battery will last longer if you don’t charge and recharge it constantly. Completely discharging li-ion or li polymer batteries is also bad. lots of people get told that you need to completely discharge batteries. This is only the case with really old batteries, nickel cadmium. Nickel Metal hydrate batteries are sometimes advised to discharge also. But li-ion and li polymer donot have the memory effect wich wil require discharging.
Because the charger stops automaticly you don’t use twice the energy. Actually charging battery and then disconnecting requires more power then just leaving the plug connected. This is because of the effiency of the charging and decharging process wich is less effecient as using mains power.
