Description
By now, the fact that batteries degrade more quickly at high and low charge levels is widely known. Even Apple has implemented an optimized charging feature to prolong battery lifespan, but it’s quite lenient and doesn’t allow manual customization.
Battery Toolkit is a free, open-source application that gives you complete control over how charging is done and in which conditions your laptop can be charged when connected to a power adapter.
To minimize battery degradation, you can set a charge range in which your laptop will not be charged. For instance, you can configure the app to only start charging when the battery drops to below 20% and stop when it gets to 80%.
The battery will still be slowly drained even when connected to the power adapter at all times, but the app will not begin charging again until the lower limit is reached so as to avoid short charging bursts that generate additional wear.
Aside from these automated functions, you can also disable the power adapter or charge the laptop to full at any time, should you need a full charge. You can prevent the device from going to sleep even when the power adapter is disabled.
