They also like to charge limit at 80% when it knows your charging habits as consistent. MacBooks sitting at 100% charge a lot will slowly discharge some when it knows you plug in and stay on ac. But a more advanced user can do a bit better. Apple has plenty of things built in to help with this without user input.Īpple is like Tesla, they try to remove a lot of user input functionality as a lot of error is human error. Longer the cell sits near its extremes, faster it breaks down. Hotter the battery gets while charging the faster it breaks down (as crystals form slowly). Heat and charge state affects the breakdown. Being dismissive doesn't make that research go away. There is plenty of research on Lithium batteries and charge states. Is this supposed to be some sort of "you're using your computer wrong" guilt trip? Lmao, you Apple kiddies who throw away your brains for Cupertino really give Linux fanboys a run for their money in cult-like behavior. After all, they have such a spotless record when it comes to obsoleting perfectly functional devices with brand new 3rd party batteries! (Not sure if you're catching the sarcasm here, but I'm laying it thick).īut I get it, you like to micro manage your devices.
What could this possibly mean? Maybe the company that doesn't let you replace your own battery, might have a vested interest in your battery not lasting as long as it could? Is it possible that Apple's battery management that used to be a hard limiter, is now turned into a "smart" health management that doesn't actually reduce charge or voltage on purpose? Noooo. This happens as needed to ensure that your battery charges to a level that's optimized for your usage-reducing wear on the battery, and slowing its chemical aging. This subreddit doesn't allow picture attachments or I'd attach a screenshot of my 4 cycle count battery.īased on the measurements that it collects, battery health management may temporarily reduce your battery's maximum charge.

This is hardware reported, not software trickery.

That's a reduction of 3.3% from the initial capacity at full charge. or basic IT.Īpple's "Battery Health Management" consists of turning a 8804 mAh battery to 8694 mAh on my 16 inch M1 Max Mbp. Spoken like a true layman with no background in electrical engineering. The charge meter might show you a 100% bit in the background all kinds of stuff is going on. Both with another easiliy accessible switch to top up before ending work or journey. I’d like a switch that lets me charge to selected charge while I’m at work with the phone on the induction charger or when in car plugged in for carplay and navigation for example. Currently the intelligence of their program to manage battery is appalingly bad. If apple implemented just a switch to decide to manually keep battery at 80% or be “smart” and manage it by itself that woul be great. Third party option I tried before looked great and worked very well.
Now I’m waiting when it will start being “smart” again. Eventually, recently, it did kick in again, but unfortunately I had to take my computer with me for a few days. When I plugged it into the monitor again it just wouldn’t start managing the charge to less than 100%. I again took the comp of for about 4 days but didn’t use it. Well it took a couple of weeks to the battery management to kick in. Unfortunately I had to take it off and with me once. It actually started to keep it at round 80% after a month. First time constantly plugged in was like a month. During this winter I had long periods of the laptop just being plugged into the monitor - like practically all the time apart from a few times when I took it with me. But you never know when this battery management will start kocking in.
