HI all.

Finally changed my old laptop and I’ve been wondering if I should be using an app like Al Dente or batt to preserve it’s battery cycles. Anyone have personal experiences with one or the other that they care to comment on?

Thanks!

    Honestly setting the charge limit should just be built into macos. Since it’s possible, I have no idea why they don’t offer that. I find their “machine learned charge limit” or whatever it is to be almost useless because most of the time it just charges to 100% anyway. The built-in feature seems to be very specifically for if you charge overnight and have a regular wake up schedule, it will hold at 80% until a few hours before you wake up and then still go to 100% anyway.
