The Apple Silicon models will probably also benefit from being the first(?) ones to run their entire life with Apple's new optimized charging behavior. E.g. my laptop spends most of its life plugged in running a display, and so it has its battery charging kept on hold and is occasionally charged up to ~80%. I can only assume this'll help the battery life in the long term...

Too much options for normal users. Actually one button in UI battery panel "[PRESERVE CAPACITY] or FULL CHARGE" would be optimal.
- paulmd 4y agoCheck out the application "aldente" for a tool that lets you manage this behavior directly... it can stop charging at a specific battery level regardless of what "optimized charging" wants to do, it allows "sailing" mode where it won't start recharging until the battery is discharged to a specific level, and it allows halting charging when the battery is above a certain temperature. It does what it says on the tin in terms of system behavior at least, no idea how much it will actually help in terms of battery life.
