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!

    I‘m using Al Dente on my MBA that I bought in jan 2023 and it gives me some peace of mind whenever I use it plugged in for longer hours. Have it set to keep the battery to 90% charged, which for me is enough juice to use my machine unplugged when I need to. Every once in a while I disable Al Dente to charge to 100% for calibration purposes. If this whole process really does something good for long term battery health I don‘t know, it should at least do no harm.
