Keep Magic Keyboard and Trackpad Plugged-in?

[Mity]

Rather than turn the switch off, can I keep the Magic Keyboard and Magic Trackpad plugged in via a USB cable all the time instead of using Bluetooth? Do the devices have power management to prevent overcharging and thus destroying the battery or causing a fire?

All lithium batteries have built-in power management to prevent overcharging or undercharging. It is never good for the battery to be constantly trickle charging though.

I have the Magic Mouse and have never turned the switch off. It lasts me at least a month or two before needing to be recharged. You don't need to worry about turning the switch off when you're not using it. The only time I would turn the switch off is if you were packing them up in a bag or not going to be using them for a long period of time (several days or weeks).

Do you know if peripherals go into low power mode? I want to use them with a Mac that I only occasionally use. My everyday machine I use with wired peripherals.
