Battery Life

Hi Guys, quick question. Is it best to always have your MacBook Pro 2017 on charge in order to save battery cycles?

You can leave your computer plugged in when convenient to do so. Leaving it plugged in will not damage your battery or computer. Leaving it plugged in will reduce the rate of accumulation of battery cycles.
