First time charging the MacBook Air (2022 M2)?

How to charge for the first time the MacBook Air 2022 M2? I was wondering what the best percentages are to increase battery life for the upcoming years. Can you do anything wrong when charging it for the 1st time?


Should I not let the battery go lower than 20 %? And until what percentage should I load it for the first time 100%? Or what percentage is best, like 85%?


So always should stay between 20% and 85%?

Thanks!

MacBook Air, macOS 12.4

There is absolutely no requirement to try and micromanage the charging process.

As a rule of thumb: if you are near an AC outlet, leave it plugged in. If you need portability, use it on battery power.
