My 1.5 years old MacBook Air M1 used with extended usb-c monitor. 97% capacity and 72 cycles and 89% capacity according Coconutbattery. I used AlDente with 70-80% limit. During all time capacity was 100% but I lost 4% for last week light work on battery. I think that now the capacity will drop very rapidly, maybe the battery needs calibration. In my new MacBook Pro M1 16 I will try to charge battery only with 20W brick without AlDente.
do u think aldente is really necessary to maintain my battery health? asking because he was saying how its not necessary since there is already built in battery optimization
@@aikanecruz2590 Apple-optimized battery charging works terribly unless you have a strict and monotonous lifestyle, in this case AlDente can help reduce the number of cycles. But it did not save the capacity of my battery as much as I wanted, so I recommend using a smaller charging brick if possible to make less battery heat. It’s a main thing on my opinion.
I have never had issues with running my battery down to 5% and then charging. all this using 50% and then charging back is actually harder on the battery from my experience.
There’s a recommendation to use MagSafe - or at least, Apple’s system seems to prefer it when it’s available. The question is, why did they even add MagSafe when USB-C works great? It would be better to have four Thunderbolt ports instead of taking up unnecessary space
My Macbook Pro M1 Pro 14' is 90% after 450 cycles. Heavy usage. Only full brightness when plugged in. Never let it discharge bellow 20% and charge habits are 30% - 100%, I guess that's why I'm keeping a good ratio between battery percentage and cycles.

Change your devices every 3 years just for the sake of it? Terrible advice imho especially if they are still working good. We don't need more e-waste. Laptops can last and be useful for so much more years...
I do not see how. The only potential issues are mis-calibration and unbalanced cells which are easily solved with an occasional charge to full and will not cause detrimental damage, only temporary capacity loss and slightly inaccurate battery percentages. The facts are facts, and the fact is Apple is still using traditional Li-Ion technology that should be charged to full as little as possible and should not be kept at high voltage for long periods of time.

i bought m2 pro 32gb after 6 months my battery percentage is approx 90% health, the day i bought it since I'm using it always on low power, 50% time using USB c display, how I'm 90% health approx 50 charge cycle, is something wrong with my device ?
Macbook pro m1 16 - 274 cycles, down to 85%. Mostly on power. (Works 5-7 hours on battery. i think chrome being the biggest drain). Charging from below 20% is very rare.
The thing is you've only used 50 cycles in an entire year. My Mac gives 1.5 days battery backup for development & moderate uses so I've to recharge it in every 2 days. That means I would reach 180-200 cycles a year. And all by means I would lose >20% battery health. So the conclusion is it's up our use cases. PS: I also follow 20%-80% charge cycles rules most of the time if I'm not travelling and also use Aldante to stop charging my Mac at 70% when using an external monitor.
These types of video are not really helpfull. Like someone said, 80% sponsoring, 20% information and it is not enough. Shame on you. I think Al dente may be a real good solution
When you said don’t update after 3 years to keep power consumption low, you lost some credibility. Dumbest advice I have heard, ever. Just buy a new device. lol. The new MacBook pros have a battery life of 7-12 years. Just use it.
MacBook just a tool, you should more care about how to use that to make more profit, if your care about more on battery or other parts of thing, you definitely dont need an Macbook
😂😂😂 Honestly, just use your Mac as you need to and don't worry about it. If you end up needing to replace your Macs battery in a 3-5 years time, it's no big deal. Most Apple stores can replace a Mac battery within a few hours and it's easier/cheaper than its ever been, $150 - $250 (depending on the model). This video is ridiculous and in some parts just complete BS. You certainly do not need to replace a Mac after 3yrs lol....this guy doesn't have a clue what he is talking about 😅😅😂
Bought iPhone 15 pro last year. Less than 1 year battery health dropped to 99%. It’s good that before I switch to Apple fully I see their business strategy. Consumers do not actually own Apple products fully, in the name of software upgrade and new features which doesn’t really matter on day to day operations, but only just to ensure that product depreciates and used product to loose value for second sale, even Apple doesn’t pay enough for trade ins. Replacing batteries would cost much from Apple. My iPhone 5 is unusable even though it’s in pristine condition. All apps doesn’t support I OS less than 13 . Mac is not different. The most funny thing about Apple consumers are that, all of them are money conscious, which doesn’t makes sense. You buy Apple products for cost optimisation ? 😂
Lol wtf is wrong with you you use your phone for 1 year and expected to thr battery to be ata brand new condition batteries are gonna degrade overtime its not apple any battery it its stay at 99% after 1 years means that's damn good

My macbook air M1 is having 60% battery percentage after 259 charge cycles... Idk what is happening
You had let it discharge to 0% several times and keep it without battery for days, right? right? 🤣 That's why
@@FREE_TEKNO Never.. I never let it discharge till 0%. I'll always charge when it reaches to 20% and keep it plugged in whenever power source is available. And also FYI when I'm keeping it for days without using.. i charge it upto 50% and shut it down.
@@jathindumpala9533 Well, then if you bought it on a apple store just ask for a battery replacement for free to apple directly
Change your devices every 3 years just for the sake of it? Terrible advice imho especially if they are still working good. We don't need more e-waste. Laptops can last and be useful for so much more years...
Why does the cycle count keep increasing?
AlDante actually harts battery more then it helps!!!
I do not see how. The only potential issues are mis-calibration and unbalanced cells which are easily solved with an occasional charge to full and will not cause detrimental damage, only temporary capacity loss and slightly inaccurate battery percentages. The facts are facts, and the fact is Apple is still using traditional Li-Ion technology that should be charged to full as little as possible and should not be kept at high voltage for long periods of time.

In my experience AlDente will make your Macbook doesnt charge anymore when you uninstall it. SMC reset do the job but not practical
Macbook air m1 2yr 90% battery health ideal
Nitish Rajput got company😂
i bought m2 pro 32gb after 6 months my battery percentage is approx 90% health, the day i bought it since I'm using it always on low power, 50% time using USB c display, how I'm 90% health approx 50 charge cycle, is something wrong with my device ?
Charge habits + letting discharge the device below 0 several times + full brightness on battery are the common problems like on your case
Jibbar jabbar..!!
Or just have the limit to 80% feature like the ones from the aldente app or latest Apple Watch natively on Mac instead of installing aldente.
my MacBook Pro 16 M1 Pro is at 84% after only 27 Cycles :o
How long do you have it? Do you use it connected most of the time?
@@chrisgilgen8442 24 month. Connected all the time, but empty it ones a month like internet suggested
Better solution get AppleCare and stop worrying about the battery!
Macbook pro m1 16 - 274 cycles, down to 85%. Mostly on power. (Works 5-7 hours on battery. i think chrome being the biggest drain). Charging from below 20% is very rare.
yeap
I didn't use chrome I only use firefox blue that is meant for developers and it is good.
Contradictions in every new video...
The heck is this advise? Throw away your devices after 3 years and don’t update them. Wtf big dislike
Heluuu Arthurr😊
Not a bad video but kinda wasted my time not gonna lie
The thing is you've only used 50 cycles in an entire year. My Mac gives 1.5 days battery backup for development & moderate uses so I've to recharge it in every 2 days. That means I would reach 180-200 cycles a year. And all by means I would lose >20% battery health. So the conclusion is it's up our use cases.
PS: I also follow 20%-80% charge cycles rules most of the time if I'm not travelling and also use Aldante to stop charging my Mac at 70% when using an external monitor.
M2 air 99% health 2 years, continous usage in hot country, always using roblox, youtube, heavy modded minecraft
Do you use it plugged in all the time?
@@david0411 never because i live in hot country so it will become hotter even when charging while not in use
@@PabloSan88 what method do you follow? Like 20% charge it and unplug it at 80% or what do you follow?
@@connectwithanandsuresh i charge till 100 then charge when it drops to 30
In your dreams maybe
These types of video are not really helpfull. Like someone said, 80% sponsoring, 20% information and it is not enough. Shame on you. I think Al dente may be a real good solution
My M2 pro is 1 year old and battery health is still a 100
What's your charging routine?
@@honeybuzzard2843twice or thrice a week but same now its at 97 percent all of a sudden it dropped 3 days ago😂
When you said don’t update after 3 years to keep power consumption low, you lost some credibility. Dumbest advice I have heard, ever.
Just buy a new device. lol.
The new MacBook pros have a battery life of 7-12 years. Just use it.
listened to 7 minutes worth of waffle and none the wiser about how to actually optimise battery usage - pretty useless video
So it’s not accurate lol
Arthuur 😃
bro is yapping 90 percent of the video
MacBook just a tool, you should more care about how to use that to make more profit, if your care about more on battery or other parts of thing, you definitely dont need an Macbook
Thats the point! You can learn skills to earn dosens of macbook worth with this device.
😂😂😂 Honestly, just use your Mac as you need to and don't worry about it. If you end up needing to replace your Macs battery in a 3-5 years time, it's no big deal. Most Apple stores can replace a Mac battery within a few hours and it's easier/cheaper than its ever been, $150 - $250 (depending on the model). This video is ridiculous and in some parts just complete BS. You certainly do not need to replace a Mac after 3yrs lol....this guy doesn't have a clue what he is talking about 😅😅😂
Bought iPhone 15 pro last year. Less than 1 year battery health dropped to 99%. It’s good that before I switch to Apple fully I see their business strategy. Consumers do not actually own Apple products fully, in the name of software upgrade and new features which doesn’t really matter on day to day operations, but only just to ensure that product depreciates and used product to loose value for second sale, even Apple doesn’t pay enough for trade ins. Replacing batteries would cost much from Apple. My iPhone 5 is unusable even though it’s in pristine condition. All apps doesn’t support I OS less than 13 . Mac is not different. The most funny thing about Apple consumers are that, all of them are money conscious, which doesn’t makes sense. You buy Apple products for cost optimisation ? 😂
Lol wtf is wrong with you you use your phone for 1 year and expected to thr battery to be ata brand new condition batteries are gonna degrade overtime its not apple any battery it its stay at 99% after 1 years means that's damn good
"My M2 pro Macbook Pro" sounds so gay bro 😂
Terrible video, just 11 minutes worth of sponsorships
bro you speak alot
Think he should do sign language instead? XD
Arthur Weiner. You have the most annoying accent ever tho.
That's not very nice.
He's trying to help, and be a successful you tuber.
He sounds Great, plus he's smart.
