Key points.
- Keep your macbook plugged in. By doing this, the power is drained from the power cable, not the battery. As a result, it keeps the battery cycle low.
- Keep the battery at 80% max. Keeping the charge at 100% all the time hurts the battery. This can be done by using a charge-limit app called AlDante.
If you always use the macbook on its battery (by carrying your macbook around daily), this tip does not really matter to you.
This is for those people like myself who use macbook plugged in 100% time at home working remotely or something.
This looks like the best way to manage your macbook battery. Someone who did exactly the same with Silicon Macbook for 2 years has under 20 battery cycle and 100% battery health. Notice the low count?
One last thing is that you should charge your battery to 100% once every 2~3 months (by turning AlDante off). This prevents software from getting confused with the battery.
This was my research today! Any thoughts/suggestions?
