I got a new MacBook Pro. I am trying to limit the charging at 80%. I have the optimized battery charging ON, but it is still keep charging to 100%. Is there is a way that I can decide when to pause charging like Tesla?
Please do not answer like you can turn on the optimized battery charging option. I have it ON.
I have the exact same request. And: A general concern about Apple's roadmap planning. I know it's not easy to support MacOS, iOS and iPadOs all together. But why is Apple's product management adding useless complexity?
Lithium Batteries ALL need charging. TRUE for iPhones, iPads or MacBooks.
But here is what Apple Product Management tells us:
This is incoherent and adding useless complexity!
Artificial intelligence and machine learning is nice to have, dear Product Management. But some of your users are experts with batteries - and Yes, they have their own intelligence.
Please, let us use it!
It is possible to turn off the laptop charging yourself when the charge level reaches 80%; for this I use the BatWiser program: https://batwiser.com/
Looks nice! Does it involve cost? I'm generally speaking skeptical trusting third party vendors with my hardware. What do you think - any risks?
Dude, unplugging really is the worst thing you possibly could do in this context. Please believe me! ;-)
Agree. Same for my usage (no pattern).
If you never let it drop below 80%, how is it going to stop charging at 80%?
True
Is there a way to manually stop MacBook charging at 80%?
