Few questions on how I should charge my MacBook Air 2018!

Just wondering how I should charge my MacBook Air 2018?

Should I always charge my macbook when its around 20-30% Battery life and how much do I charge it to? ( To 100% ??)

Also will I be able to use this while charging? Will it affect the battery performance in the long run?

What are the best ways to improve battery performance and make this last battery long?

Sorry I have so many questions! Just really curious and I want to make sure this machine lasts. :)

I had a Macbook Air that I just killed with a glass of soda all over the keyboard. I just ordered a new one which is on the way and should arrive in the next couple of days. The one I killed I use to keep on the charger anytime it was on my desk. I learned my lesson doing that. After a while the battery would not hold a charge for a long amount of time. When I would unplug the computer and than use the battery I think I only got about a little less than 20 minuets on the battery than the system would turn off totally. So when my new one comes I plan on using the battery till it tells me the battery is needing to be charged. Hopefully this will let me get more out of my battery than the old one did.

So I say charge it when it says it is time to charge.
