Hey all!
Was curious if anyone here uses AlDente for their macbook, and how well it works. If so, what settings do you use? Has it made a difference in your macbook’s battery health?
Thanks!
Yes, using it since I the purchase, while the similar functionality is implemented in macOS itself, it never worked out for me even after months as I wanted, so I configured AlDente and here is the look at my battery health after more than a year of daily use.
All in all this is what I do:
- I never keep the battery at 100% for prolonged periods of time. (days, weeks)
- When docked, I keep the battery at around 70%.
- Once every 2-3 weeks I discharge the battery to approx. 20%, charge fully and keep it as is for at least an hour, then discharge to approx. 70-80%.
I have been using AlDente since day 1 of my M2 13” MBA, so just about a year now. It doesn’t get out much so stays plugged in almost all the time. I use AlDente pretty much with the stock settings (charge to 80%, sail to 70) and setting it to run on login. I’m currently at 100% battery health with only 7 cycles.
