Macbook Air M4 Battery guidance

[madrich]

I previously had a MacBook Air Intel Core early 2015. It’s original battery lasted about 9 years! The way I handled my previous MBA was to let the battery run down to 80%-90%, and sometimes 100%, before recharging. I understand “now” that I should optimize charging and keep the battery limit at 80% and plugged in, as much as possible. However, I use my new Macbook Air M4 secondary to my other Apple devices (just like I did for my early 2015 Intel Core MBA.)

Would I still achieve similar battery longevity unplugged, but keep 80% battery limit?

Thank you for your comments.

The best way is to simply run on battery when you need to and plug in when you need to. It will learn your habits and adjust accordingly.
