Connect off the battery

[svindal1]

Hi.

Some days I would like to work on my MBA a full day at my desk, having to put two cycles on the battery seems unnecessary. Any way to connect of the battery and only power off the wall.

Did this with my earlier MacBooks by taking out the battery, but as we all know that's not a possibility now.

Thanks!

When you work while plugged in with the battery charged, the battery isn't in use and won't cycle. It won't overcharge. This should answer most, if not all, of your battery questions:

From the FAQ:

Also, it is not recommended to run your Mac on the AC adaptor with the battery out (Of course, this only applies to removable batteries).
