The amount of battery charge left can also be checked by viewing the Battery (
)
status icon in the menu bar. The battery charge level displayed is based on the amount 
of power left in the battery with the applications, peripheral devices, and system 
settings you are currently using. To conserve battery power, close applications and 
disconnect peripheral devices not in use, and adjust your Energy Saver settings. For 
more information about battery conservation and performance tips, go to

Charging the Battery
When the power adapter that came with your MacBook is connected, the battery 
recharges whether the computer is on, off, or in sleep. The battery recharges more 
quickly, however, when the computer is off or in sleep.
