![]() According to coconutBattery, I've had 90 charge cycles in the ~9 months I've had the laptop, and have lost 3% of the design capacity of the battery. I usually run my M1 MBA on battery until it drops to 20-40%, then I'll plug it in just long enough to charge it to 70-90%. Just wondering what the collective wisdom of disconnecting power regularly is. I have read Apple's docs about batteries. The newer one also loses a lot of charge because of indexing activities. On the older model, the battery is definitely starting to fade but that also seems to because of all the indexing that Spotlight does. I wonder if this good or bad? I'm not a big fan (figuratively) of having dense electronics run hot all the time. To give them a break and to let them cool down, I unplug the power overnight or when I will away for more than a few hours. The newer one frequently pauses charging at about 80% but sometimes goes to 100% which is when it gets the warmest. The newer one does not get quite as warm. The older one runs rather warm most of the time whether the CPU is busy or not. I mostly do programming which can be a bit CPU intensive at intervals. They both are hooked up to monitors most of the time meaning they are also hooked up to a power brick. Your Macbook will start charging until it reaches 90%.I have two MacBook Pros one is a 2015 model (I think - it is in the other room) and the other is a 2018 model. You switch to User B on which the Charge Limit is set at 70% with AlDente. You are using User A and your MacBook’s current battery percentage is 70% and it is charging to the set charge limit of 80%. Your Macbook will start charging until it reaches 90%. You switch to User B on which the Charge Limit is set at 90% with AlDente. You are using User A and charging is paused at 80% with the Charge Limiter feature of AlDente. AlDente will continue to pause charging and your MacBook will stay at 80%. You switch to User B on which the Charge Limit is set at 80% too with AlDente. What happens if AlDente is not installed on the other user account?Īs soon as you switch from the user account which has AlDente installed and charging is paused, your MacBook will start charging to 100%. However, you can always only use the feature of the current version activated on the current user account. ![]() This means, that you do not need to have only AlDente Pro or only AlDente Free on all user accounts in order for Fast User Switching to be supported. What about AlDente Pro and AlDente Free?įast User Switching support is included in AlDente Pro and AlDente Free and it is even interchangeable. ![]() Furthermore, after switching users, it might take a minute or two for everything to work as intended. Pause charging with the Charge Limiter and bring the battery down with Discharge and so on. Here is how it works: Just install AlDente on every user account you want to use it on and use it as you normally would. However, you need to follow a couple of steps to get it to work properly. It is activated by default and you do not need to change any setting in AlDente. ![]() Since version 1.15 AlDente supports Apple’s Fast User Switching.
