Hello!

I mainly play at home, in my bed. Meaning I can always plug the SD if needed.

To save the battery in the long run, should I keep it plugged, like I do with my laptop, or should I just play and charge it like every day ?

Thanks

With Li-Po batteries it’s best to keep them between 20-80% for minimal wear, and don’t let them get too hot or cold.

Personally I think very little about battery care with the SD because unlike a phone, it’s relatively easy to replace.
