No. It will not drop rapidly as a result of keeping it plugged in all the time.

MacAir charger too Big to stay in the wall power outlet The charger of MacAir is very big and thick and most time it`s needed an extension to avoid it to fall when put in the wall to charge. Would suggest that the Big box charger could be put in the middle of the cord or in the end closer to the computer instead of in the end at the wall.

As long as there is a percentage to the charge, then yes, you can use it.
