AlDente is a cool tool that helps you keep your Apple devices running longer by taking care of your battery. You know how annoying and pricey it can be to replace a battery on a MacBook? That’s why so many people want to stretch out their battery life!
The trick with Lithium-ion batteries, like the one in your MacBook, is to keep them between 30% and 80% charged. This sweet spot helps them last longer. Sure, it’s easy to make sure your laptop doesn’t drop below 30%, but stopping it from hitting 100% while charging? That’s where things get tricky.
Apple has a feature called Battery Health Management that tries to help with this. However, instead of just capping the charge at a certain level, it looks at how you use and charge your device. So, it won't just limit the battery capacity for everyone all the time.
Once you download AlDente, you'll see its icon in your menu bar. From there, you can easily set an upper limit for how much your MacBook's battery will charge. What’s neat is that AlDente actually writes this setting directly into your laptop's SMC (System Management Controller).
This app will automatically run every time you log in to your MacBook and will keep the battery from charging past that limit. Most folks recommend keeping it at about 80%, but feel free to choose whatever percentage works best for you!
If you're looking to extend the life of your MacBook for years to come, AlDente could be a smart move! It might be more intense than just relying on Apple’s Battery Health Management feature, but hey, it's worth considering for better battery health.
