Travelling & leaving MacBook Air in the house

I'm going to be away for 4 months, shall I ask a friend to turn on my Macbook Air every now and then or just leave it off?

Thanks for the support!

Either you should ask your friend to charge the battery regularly


or


For computers that have non-removable batteries, you should either charge or drain the battery until 50% of the charge remains. If you plan to store the computer for longer than six months, charge it to 50% every six months that it remains in storage.
