MacBook battery: Keep plugged in or not ? MacBook (Retina, 12-inch, Early 2016) MacBook (Retina, 12-inch, Early 2016) I own a macbook 2016 laptop (not macbook air nor macbook pro) its just a macbook. I would like to ask if there is any harm that can happen to my battery if I leave it connected and charged for a whole day (using it like a desktop) ? If charging cycle count is the main factor in battery lifespan it would seem that keeping the computer connected to the charger would be a good thing.

What is apple's official advice about Keeping your MacBook Pro Plugged in I just recently purchased my first Mac Laptop - the MacBook Pro and would like to know the official Apple position on whether to keep my MacBook Pro plugged in or not... whether to shut it down at night or not. I would like to preserve the health of the battery as much as possible. There is a lot of conflicting information available. Thanks, Mark
