How to NOT charge when USB debugging?

Question

I develop "on the road" using a laptop that's not connected to a power source, so when I debug on my android devices, they drain my laptop battery. Unfortunately, the laptop is a MacBook Air so spare laptop batteries is not an option. (I charge everything at home at night.)

Is there a setting to switch USB charging off, especially when debugging?

Depends on device in question, what is your device? – t0mm13b Sep 29 '13 at 13:30 — t0mm13b, Sep 29 '13 at 13:30
You could use a USB power bank with a Y-USB cable – ce4 Sep 29 '13 at 14:24 — ce4, Sep 29 '13 at 14:24
