MacBook: battery life vs battery life?

Question

macbook

How true is it that macbooks work directly from the network when they are charging and thus save battery life, while all other laptops work from the network through the battery and drain the latter?

And in general, what is more useful, constant work from the outlet or recharging?

Answer 1

Just use the device the way you like.
The battery will last you anyway.

Answer 2

It seems that all modern laptops do not use the battery when running on mains.
The battery has a microcontroller with a charge sensor. It determines if the battery needs to be charged.
If necessary, it diverts part of the power for charging, otherwise it blocks the supply of current to the battery.
The less you recharge the battery, the longer it will last you. For example, Apple batteries lose 20% of their charge after 1000 cycles.
However, even if the battery is not in use, it still drains a little. On older Macbooks, the battery could be removed and stored separately, but on modern models, this cannot be done.

From my own experience, I can say that after 3-4 years of using a laptop, changing a battery costing from 3000r to 6000r (depending on where and what to order) does not bother.
