Is there a way to use the Macbook with the lid closed and without connected to the AC power? I am using Macbook Air 2017.
AC power is required for clamshell mode.
Use your Mac notebook computer in closed-display mode with an external display - Apple Support
...I don't think it is good for the battery if the AC is always connected and charging.
It is good, actually. You cannot ‘overcharge’ your Mac, running on AC as much as possible will extend your battery lifespan by reducing the rate at which charge cycles accumulate, and with the battery health management feature introduced in macOS 10..15.5, your Mac will run itself off battery for brief periods even while connected to AC power to maintain battery health.
Thanks for sharing the link, I already went through the link but I am looking for an alternate way to use the Macbook with the lid closed because I don't think it is good for the battery if the AC is always connected and charging.
with an external monitor?
yes and no
Ok, this sounds good. I don't have to worry about it anymore. Thanks bud!
Yes, with an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
