If you are near an AC outlet, leave it connected to the charge circuit.

If you need portability, use battery power.

Any attempt to micromanage the charge process, by charging to specific percentages is a waste of time, and does absolutely nothing to preserve battery longevity.

It all depends on your usage. If you are constantly charging and discharging the MacBook, then the battery lifespan will decrease faster than if you were to only use it from time to time. Even if you took good care, I would highly doubt that the battery would reach 10 years.

How long the battery lasts and how long the computer lasts are two different things. The batteries can be replaced.

Batteries can be replaced but still, it's too costly for the price of the product compared with other alternate options. It can be better.

i have searched many YouTube videos but still, I'm not clear about the best option to charge to increase the cycle.

Which option is good? Btw, i need to work around 9 hours per day.

A) 10% to 100% daily

B) 21% to 79% daily

C) Between 30% to 70% daily

D) Always plugged in

Please let me know the best option.

Thank you.
