Original Title: MacBook charging
Did you already have a look at what Apple recommends in general?
Batteries - Maximizing Performance - Apple
I'm using my MacBook Pro always plugged into the original power adapter, unless there is no option to charge it during the use. If it is switched off, I unplug it over night.
Yes, Optimised Charging is part of newer macOS versions, just like in iOS and watchOS.
Check this article about it:
If battery charging is paused or on hold on your Mac - Apple Support
thank you so much for that link! just one last thing I am still semi confused about, I have seen things online saying that if I leave my Mac plugged in for the first few charger optimised charging will change my charging pattern so it stops charging at 80, do you know if this is true? if it is false, do I need an app to get it to stop at 80% (as this is what I've read online) or has the new iOS update made a way for it to stop charging at 80%?
thank you, and if you don't know that is okay!
How should I charge my new MacBook Air M4 for optimal performance?
