I have my MacBook Pro charged in and once it charges till 100% I just leave the charger connected to the MacBook Pro. Reason behind this is because I am still using it, whenever I shut down my MacBook Pro, I always unplug the charger from it. So it’s usually always left at 100% when it’s shut down.
is my way of using my mbp going to damage or deteriorate it’s battery faster ? If so what are some other stuff I can do
Shouldn't be a problem. I believe even the newer models have the mechanism where it actually varies between 95% and 100% when it's plugged in. It will stop charging once it reaches 100%. Then self-discharge or any supplemental power (beyond what the power adapter can supply) requirements will drain the battery until it goes under 95%. It won't start charging the battery again until it dips below this value.
This is designed to keep the battery from being excessively charged to 100%. I believe other Apple devices do the same, but it's kept transparent to the user. For instance, it seems kind of odd that I can be using my iPhone for 20 minutes and it's still reporting 100% battery charge level.
You can leave the charger plugged in whenever it is convenient to do so. The battery will not overcharge and neither the battery nor the computer will be damaged.
Hi,
I think it's no problem at all.
I DO similar charger connection like you without any problem.
General advice is to let it run down to about 20% (not lower) occasionally to 'exercise' the battery. Otherwise as said there is no problem.
Is it bad to keep MacBook Pro charged in all the time ?
