MacBook battery health: It's fine to charge while using

Modern MacBooks are designed to manage battery health effectively, making it generally safe to use them while plugged in. The devices utilize smart charging software and lithium batteries to monitor usage patterns and temperature, adjusting charging cycles to prolong battery longevity. While continuous charging is typically fine, extreme heat is the primary factor that can degrade battery health, and users are advised to store devices at around 50% charge if not in use for extended periods.
