No Battery Health button on Mac Book Air 2015

Any suggestions on how to activate battery health function after macOS Catalina 10.15.5 update. Is this feature available for Macbook Air 2015? Thanks!

Sorry, but your MacBook Air isn’t supported by the new battery health feature. Your device has to have thunderbolt 3 in order to use it. Here’s a quote from Apple:

“Battery health management is on by default when you buy a new Mac notebook with macOS 10.15.5, or after you upgrade to macOS 10.15.5 on a Mac notebook with Thunderbolt 3 ports.”

It's seems that MacBook Air 2017 users (myself included) are being forgotten about when it comes to updates such as this.

This is Sidecar all over again, something I was looking forward to but again a 3 year old laptop is deemed to old for such things unless you have invested in a pro model (which I have no use for)
