How to extend the life of my MacBook battery? I have this MacBook Pro 2023 (Apple M3). How do I take care of the battery so that it will last a long time? If I plug the MacBook into the electric outlet most times, will it extend battery life? Please advise. Thank you.

How to maximise battery life when using MacBook Pro on high load? Cable or battery? Hello, I have an MacBook Pro with M1 Pro chip, which I'm frequently using with very high load: the editor of a demanding video game engine, 3D modelling and texturing software, etc. How can I maximise the battery life with such usage? Should I keep the machine charged during these hours, even for the whole day, or should I let the battery drain and charge even 2-3x a day? I understand that the battery is designed to be drained regularly, but I'm not sure that using with such high load and quick drain rate is very good for it... Thanks
