When I connect my MacBook Air to a second screen (monitor) with a Satechi converter the battery is draining much faster, how is this possible?
Because, your MBA is working "harder" pushing video to both its built-in display and the external display?
You're very welcome! Also, that convertor, if plugged directly into one of your notebook's ports will draw power as well. As such, it's always better to be sure your notebook is connected to power when using external devices ... especially displays.
No, none. I have done this for years with a multitude of Mac notebook models and never experience any negative issues doing so. The Apple power adapter will regulate the amount of charge applied to the battery and will not overcharge it past 100%.
Ok, thanks for your quick response
is there no (negative) impact on my battery if I connect it to power the whole day?
Ok, thanks again 👍
