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.”

I have macOS Catalina 10.15.5 and I have the Battery Health feature in System Preferences under Energy Saver. I am also on a 2019 MacBook Air.
I have seen several posts from MacBook Air owners (2017 & Older) that they could not locate the feature. Not sure what Apple had intended however you are not alone.

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)
Thanks for the answer!
You could try FruitJuice (in the App Store).
