Hi

Is it ok if I always work with AC Adapter connected all the time even though the battery is full?

Thank you!

How to set it up?
I installed SATA Power management driver, but i didn't see the changes or setting option.

Double Click on the green battery in the task bar and you can create profiles and change your charge thresholds.

Click on the FAQ's in my signature, there is a lot of valuable information there that will help you now and in the future, the driver you need is power management.

You need the Power Manager driver for battery management, not just the SATA Power Management (for harddrive power management):
