Leaving a MacBook Pro plugged in even though the battery is 100%

Does it hurt the battery when leaving the MacBook Pro plugged in even though the battery is 100% or should I unpglug?


Thank you

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 12.1

Leaving the computer plugged in does not damage the computer or the battery. You can leave the computer plugged in whenever convenient to do so. The computer manages its power system very well. There is no need for you to micro manage power.

Yes. Leaving it plugged in for a while may cause overheating. So, to avoid this, don't leave it plugged in, and always place it atop a laptop cooler.
