MBA usage while charging

is it a right way, when possible, to save battery, to use MBA while charging? j mean, in this way, MBA use the wall power instead of the battery power: right or wrong?

MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

You can keep the computer plugged in while in use.


Keep the computer plugged in whenever possible.


If you keep the computer always plugged in, make sure that at least twice a month


run it on battery until battery charge level drops to about 50-40%.


Please don’t discharge the battery completely. Discharging battery completely will reduce battery health.
