Should I leave my new macbook air unplugged at night once it is at 100% or is it okay to leave it plugged in all night? I dont want to ruin the battery life.

When should I unplug my macbook air off? I just got a macbook air and I'm trying to preserve the battery, for that, when should I unplug my macbook off it's charger? Most sites say not to 100% but they don't say to which percentage is ok, I've heard some say 80% but I think that's not so much, I'd rather something like 95% so I feel like I'm charging it a lot, but not filling it up unnecessarily, although, it's not up to my liking, but how it's best for my macbook, maybe 90% is ok? I always plug it in when it's at 25%.

Optimizing battery life and lifespan in MacBook Should I leave my MacBook plugged continuously and only use the battery when mobile? I have been advised to plug it only until charge reaches 100%, unplug it immediately and only plug it in to recharge when charge goes down below 20%. I understand I should minimize charging cycles, but is it correct that leaving it plugged after it reaches 100% impacts performance and lifespan?

Hi,

I think it's OK to leave plugs in all night, since battery leaks even while unused condition.
