Using my MacBook Pro 13" in a desktop setup

[sagyr1]

The question is more about battery life.

My MacBook is placed on a Twelve South's stand called BookArc, so it's closed all the time.

In order for it to run/work with an external monitor I need the Mac to stay charged all the time.

Is it ok to keep it charged all the time? Is it have an effect on the battery life?

I know I can use apps that prevent the Mac from going sleep mode in order it to run without charging it.

But I want to know what the effects are if it's plugged in for long times anyway, because I'm actually don't want to use those apps.



Thanks in advance

In the new mac OS, there's a new function that prevents laptops that are always plugged in from staying charged all the time.
