    Hi azjt,

     

    Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.

     

    It sounds like you have questions about charging your MacBook battery.

     

    Using your MacBook while it's connected to power shouldn't harm the battery. For more details about optimizing your MacBook battery, see About Mac notebook batteries - Apple Support.

     

    Sincerely.

    Connected.

    It is not important but for best battery life try to avoid discharging to less than 20%
