I keep my MBA at 60% since it basically never goes for more than a couple hours within being plugged in.
- ein0p 2y agoI think (though I might be wrong) charging of Apple hardware detects usage patterns and it would already not charge the battery to 100% if you’re frequently plugged in.
- crazygringo 2y agoKind of, it's described here [1]. But that only applies if you have a "charging routine", e.g. you always charge overnight and use it on battery all day long starting at 9:15 am: "When the feature is enabled, your Mac will delay charging past 80% in certain situations. Your Mac learns your charging routine and aims to ensure that your Mac is fully charged when unplugged." But in my experience, the feature doesn't do anything if your Mac is just usually plugged in. It simply stays at 100% because there's no routine for it to learn for when you tend to unplug it. [1] https://support.apple.com/en-us/102338 https://support.apple.com/en-us/102338
- ein0p 2y agoUseful info, thanks. There’s really no reason for my MBP to be charged 100% - I rarely unplug it

- crazygringo 2y agoOh wow, looks like that's brand-new (from March?) as opposed to AlDente which is about 4.5 years old at this point, at least according to GitHub releases. It looks really really sharp, the UX is definitely much more visually appealing than AlDente. I might have to check it out.
