Can I leave MacBook Pro plugged in for one year?

Apple advises if storing MacBook for 6 months or more to put charge level at 50% for storage. Does that mean I shouldn't just leave it plugged in on my desk fort 6 months? I never take it anywhere.

Thanks

When using my Mac I leave it plugged in whenever convenient to do so. Your computer and battery will not be damaged. leaving it plugged in reduces the rate of accumulation of battery cycles.


If I was storing the computer I would follow Apple's advice about 50% charge.
