Aldente mac7/24/2023 it doesn't look good, but you never know. Apparently I should be at 80% after 1000 cycles. If I don't make it to the warranty, I don't blame al dente. The one thing I disagree with the developers on is how often you should calibrate your battery. battery health is an estimate, you can go months without health not changing then dropping suddenly when the computer realizes. limiting the charging on a device is good for the battery. in the month of December I went from 94% to 87% Forgetting to plug my computer in while sitting next to my already plugged in charging cable. forgetting to put my computer to sleep and so forth, the battery draining to nothing. was doing well and then in December I started misbehaving. the optimistic number given by my computer, and the number given by third party apps (who give more realistic numbers for battery charge). So there are two ways to check battery health. makes me feel more secure about having bought the MBP instead of the Air and instead of waiting. I'm glad to see 14"+ models being real professional machines. for me my 13" MBP is for all intents and purposes the MacBook. It's for people leave their computer plugged in for days weeks months, and the only reason the battery drains at all is because batteries are not perfect, the charger is underpowered, and/or during very difficult tasks, the computer may request extra power from the battery. But it's not really meant for people like me who want it because they frequently unplug their computer to switch outlets, or sit watch a tv show at the table for 30 minutes while having dinner before returning to my desk. because charging 10% once is better than 1% 10x. If my understanding is correct, the feature is exists for the reasons I want it. then from that point until you unplug it or close the lid again, it will stop charging until it reaches the bottom limit. whenever you unplug the laptop or turn it off/close the lid, when you turn it back on or plug it back in, it ignores the lower limit and charges it up to the upper limit. it prioritizes charging your battery to the upper limit first. but near the bottom of the page, I discovered a harsh reality. When I began reading about it, it seemed like the thing. Someone told me about Sailing mode, and I was hopeful.
