    Hey, I normally use the MacBook in the sitting room where the charger is...I got it yesterday and charged it to 100%. should I continue to have it plugged in on charger when I'm using it or should I let it run down as normal, only charging it when needs be? Would having it charging all the time damage the battery?

    Don't leave it plugged in all the time, but don't needlessly discharge it either as it will waste battery cycles. As long as the battery gets some use, you should plug it in when you can. You should also completely discharge and recharge it once a month.

    Leaving it plugged in all the time will damage the battery, you'll be constantly charging it.

    This isn't actually the case. Once the battery reaches 100 percent it stops charging.
