This "keeping a 50% charge level is difficult" is now a myth and needs to die. did you read my comment up there? I wrote about Charge Limiter, which keeps your battery level at 50%. I'm asking what to limit the battery charge to. I believe Teslas recommend not charging to over 60% for general, everyday use-to improve battery life. I'm not hindering my current use in any way, since my laptop is plugged into AC the whole time.Īlso didn't realize you understood my personal situation better than me.Īpple's battery health management feature increases the cycle count, even if you're on AC 100% of the time. This is the exact "smartass" comment that I was asking people not to make.
ALDENTE MAC BATTERY FULL
And since my laptop is tethered all the time I've never needed to make full use of the battery. This is not a routine I do every day, I literally just set it once a few weeks ago and forgot about it. I have peace of mind that my battery's going to last a bit longer since it's constantly at 50%, rather than 100%. I'm not worried about my battery health at all. It's just going to be fighting against systems that macOS already has in place to manage the battery. However, this is only due to a disturbed battery calibration From Al Dente github page. I set my battery max charge level to 50% and I forgot about it. When this happens, your Macbook might turn off with 40-50 left or your battery capacity will drop significantly. It's not the point of the discussion, keep your comment spam somewhere else.Įdit: It seems like, despite my disclaimer, people still want to tell me that what I'm doing is inconvenient for me. So don't waste your time telling me how it won't help my battery health. I mean I'm not stopping you, but I'll pretty much just ignore you. Once again, if you want to be a smartass, please don't comment. I know a bunch of smartasses will try to tell me that there's no difference, but a fact you can't argue with is that a lower cycle count increases resale value. My motive is to keep the battery cycle count low to increase resale value when I sell it next year. Anyway, what should I limit it to? 80%? 70%? Or 50 or 40%? Apple suggests to store their battery at 50%, so maybe at that? I'm going to be running off of AC power, by the way.īefore some smartass decides to tell me that it won't help increase the longevity of my battery, I don't need your opinion. As a consequence, when you switch the comp on and off during a few seconds the battery is charging, unless you unplug the MacBook. So I want to limit my battery charge on my MacBook Pro. For the M1 has a big disadvantage for me: only controls the battery when it is loaded (in non M1 CPUs it can always control it).
