I will be using my mac mostly as a desktop plugged into my caldigit ts3+ most of the time. Since this dock keeps the mac constantly charging, does this damage the battery in any way?
MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 13.1
Hi itsgabem,
The following resources have information on charging your Mac and how to maximize battery lifespan that you may find helpful:
Charge the MacBook Pro battery
Maximizing Battery Life and Lifespan
Charge your Apple lithium-ion battery whenever you want. There’s no need to let it discharge 100% before recharging. Apple lithium-ion batteries work in charge cycles. You complete one charge cycle when you’ve used (discharged) an amount that equals 100% of your battery’s capacity — but not necessarily all from one charge. For instance, you might use 75% of your battery’s capacity one day, then recharge it fully overnight. If you use 25% the next day, you will have discharged a total of 100%, and the two days will add up to one charge cycle. It could take several days to complete a cycle. The capacity of any type of battery will diminish after a certain amount of recharging. With lithium-ion batteries, the capacity diminishes slightly with each complete charge cycle. Apple lithium-ion batteries are designed to hold at least 80% of their original capacity for a high number of charge cycles, which varies depending on the product.
Regards.

Does leaving a caldigit ts3+ plugged into macbookpro damage the battery?
