Keep MacBook Pro M1 plugged in? Or use battery periodically? I rarely use my new MacBook Pro M1 as a travel computer. I could leave it plugged in all the time. Should I? or is there an advantage to occasionally running the battery down to some percentage? thanks, Cybunny PS I've seen older articles suggest running the battery once a month down to 5%; I've also seen Apple Help suggest "let the software take care of battery health" which seems a bit gnomic.

Sleep or shutdown MacBook Air M1 Recently I bought the MacBook Air M1 and was confused between sleep or shutdown every time I finish my work. This has been cleared in an earlier question but in the answer it is mentioned that whenever possible we should put it in power mode to reduce battery usage. That means when the battery in 100% charger we should put it in power. My query is by doing so will it not affect battery life in the long term, I mean putting any electronic device in charging mode after its battery is 100% charged affects the battery and it damages it. Please clarify.

I usually sleep the Mac. It is up to the user actually.
