Plug in the computer to power when convenient to do so. Leaving the computer plugged in will not damage the computer or the battery.

I have an M1 MacBook Air I bought when It first came out in 2020. It is plugged into power 24/7 and is used on battery a few hours a week and its battery life is at 90%.


I have an M4 MacBook Air I purchased about 6 months ago as a replacement and is living the same sort of life and is still at 100% battery life.


So, turn on Optimize Battery in the Battery System Settings and forget about and just use your Mac.

Using Plugins for Power:

I stay away for using plugins for supposed troubleshooting tips a such, and you might want to conserve doing the same. As for using a charger, I always go Apple-for-Apple (which isn't necessary, but more trustworthy, IMO). Leaving it plugged while in use, is what I always do, unless there is not external power source, of course. And, I never let the battery percentage go below 40%. Letting it just die out at 0% would lead toward quicker faultier. I've had my 2018 in use for users, and it's Battery Health is only down to 89%. As for my 2023 MacBook Pro, its Battery Health is unexpected down to 84%.


Why the Battery Health Decreased:

Unfortunately, there is not way to determine when then Battery Health decreased and why. It's anybody's guess. Make note that know that all batteries are prone to eventual failure, and that's what keeping an eye on the Battery Health is all about --when it reaches 80% or lower, it it time for a new battery, whatever the Apple Device.

To check your Mac's battery health, condition and cycle count.

  • Click: Apple menu
  • Select: System Settings
  • Click: Battery in the sidebar.
