I just bought my M2 Macbook Pro 16 and I was just wondering if I should leave the charger plugged in when I am at my desk. This is quite an expensive laptop so I would rather not want to degrade the battery too fast by keeping it plugged in or any charging behaviour that might reduce the battery health faster than normal.
MacBook Pro (M2 Pro, 2023)
Yes you can do this, and this Will not degenerate your battery Health
Not a problem at all; leave it plugged in.
Is it fine to leave Macbook plugged in whenever I am at my desk?
