Advice on battery charging for my MacBook Pro M1
I have a larger monitor that I use most of the time unless I need to take the MacBook to a meeting. The MacBook sits in an "arc" and is connected to the monitor (and a backup disk). I usually have the charging power connected and do not routinely use the battery when I use it in this mode. Is it a good idea to have the charging cable plugged in all the time when using it in this way? Does the MacBook optimize the charging as it implies in the Battery settings if I have that option checked so as to maximize the battery life? Thanks for any informed advice.
ps. I think that this is a lithium ion battery - correct?
