A simple way to significantly extend battery longevity is to limit charge to 80% (only charging to 100% occasionally when you know you might need it, like a long day travelling).
Unfortunately Apple doesn't yet provide this option on most of it's devices, other than the iPhone 15 line. But you can use third-party apps to do it on Macs.

- Reason077 3y agoYeah, that doesn't work very well in my experience. Not aggressive enough about stopping at 80% unless your routine is very regular. I want it to always stop charging at 80% unless I say otherwise.
