Instal the last version for ios AlDente Pro pro#

I'm attaching Coconut Battery readouts for my iPad Pro and MacBook to see what are more realistic results - or am I just jinxed?Ĭoconut Battery does work on the M1 MaxBook Pro in its latest update, BTW. I can't understand how the poster who said his MacBook has only about 15 cycles on the battery after years of usage. And I don't even know how long my 12' MacBook would last on batteries compared to when it was new because I've unplugged it so seldom. The iPad Pro now has a battery life of about four hours.

(When I send it in again, I'm going to take multiple photos with a ruler resting on it first!) I had to escalate that to a senior level in order to get it back without the extra $600 charge. Apart from the inconvenience of being without it, Apple claimed the iPad was bent (it wasn't and isn't) and wanted $599 to fix that in addition to the battery replacement. The last time my iPad Pro went to Apple for a battery replacement was only a year and a half ago. And if battery replacement could still be done by the user. Honeslly I'd have more of a 'use it up and throw it away' mentality if I didn't have so many devices and didn't like to keep them for a long time. Thanks for the good comments! I've been accused of obsessing over battery life, but I don't think that's quite fair (look at electric car owners if you want battery life obsession). Most of my Apple devices are used 90-100% and after several years they do pretty well on the capacity vs design capacity scale. This is really the first year I've ever been able to do the 40-75% (or 40-85%) because I'm at home all the time. As this post (in this thread) states: #14 Of course you get less usage out of your battery that you paid for - but it does extend the life significantly. I've read Buchmann's book several times and love his website: īattery University clearly states batteries will last longer when used 40-75%. Hopefully something like this comes out for the M1 soon!īatteries are a hobby of mine. Every now and then I'll set it to 100% for a day then back to 55-85% (Usually 70%+). I use AlDente on my 2020 MBP 13' to keep the battery around 85% since I use it as a desktop these days (virus). Any attempt at prolonging the life is seen as way too inconvenient.ĭoes coconutBattery work? - I've used this to monitor my batteries for years now. With the 140W charger, this will not happen and your battery charge will remain 80% for the entire day or even two.Click to expand.I'm surprised as well. This will discharge the battery a little. But: once your Macbook starts working hard, it may draw more than 30W power from the charger, so when you use the 30W charger, the battery must jump back in and charger and battery work in tandem to provide adequate energy to the macbook. Why? The sailing mode cuts the energy flow to the battery, so at first glance it won't make much of a difference what charger you use. I am now using a 30W MacBook Air 2020 M1 charger which may take over two hours to get from 20% to 80%, but the slower pace doesn't scare the heck out of your battery cells.Īdditionally, if you use AlDente Pro sailing mode:Īfter the battery has been charged to 80% (or whatever limit you desire), unplug the 30W charger and plug in the 140W charger. The 140W charger that comes with the M1 Max turbo charges your battery in a very short time, which is harmful to the battery. I started using AlDente Pro two weeks ago and I have only had one cycle since.Īlso, I would recommend grabbing a lower power charger for a heavy duty macbook pro like the M1 Max I have, if you have one lying around. I have been using aldente (free version) on my 16' M1 Max for a year now and the battery health is 100% according to Apple (Ventura battery settings), but 98% according to Coconutbattery Plus. My Late 2013 battery lasted around 1000-1100 cycles and the replacement battery is now at 924. After a day of desk work your battery will drain and will need to be recharged, resulting in another cycle and one tiny step closer to death.

If you would simply unplug the charger at 80% manually, the battery will start discharging. So the battery is effectively disengaged and the macbook is running on AC power as long as it's connected. Sailing mode stops the energy flow from charger to battery but it maintains the energy flow from charger to the macbook. You might think 'Well I do the same thing, I just unplug the charger manually at 80%'. What it does is stop charging the battery once the charge limit (e.g. You might grasp (took me some time) the concept after the third read. Just read the blog on apphousekitchen and then let it sink in. Click to expand.Yes it's a feature called sailing mode.
