The question is more about battery life.

My MacBook is placed on a Twelve South's stand called BookArc, so it's closed all the time.

In order for it to run/work with an external monitor I need the Mac to stay charged all the time.

Is it ok to keep it charged all the time? Is it have an effect on the battery life?

I know I can use apps that prevent the Mac from going sleep mode in order it to run without charging it.

But I want to know what the effects are if it's plugged in for long times anyway, because I'm actually don't want to use those apps.



Thanks in advance
