I have been troubled by the fast degrading battery problem since launch. I have been running a MacBook 14 M1 Pro since launch. ![]() Back in the day if you had a charge limiter, (ex: old Lenovo laptops) - the laptop would eventually lose the actual charge. This was much more of a problem in the past (today laptops/phones rarely suffer from this). (I am only a hobbyist so anyone who knows more please feel free to correct me).īatteries are a chemistry and the battery % reader on any device is an estimation that is imperfect. The sail option on AlDente helps prevent this % calibration loss too (and keep the battery energized and healthier). To re-calibrate your % reader, draining it to a low state of charge, then charging it to 100% helps make the % reader more accurate.Įven on today's laptops you TECHNICALLY could gain a few % by recalibrating but it isn't recommended to do this anymore as today's % readers are far more accurate - some say today, you just need to do a drain to 40% then charge to 90% (from what I've read) to recalibrate. Today's laptops are much less susceptible to this - but it's still not recommended to use AlDente to keep your laptop's charge below 60%, for example, because of risk of losing % calibration. To "recalibrate" the % reader, you need to charge it to 100% (or first drain it to 0% and then charge it to 100% without interruption). You go to unplug it and poof the laptop shuts off after a few minutes. So for example, say you spent 1 month leaving your laptop at 60% charge - in reality, the laptop was slowly losing charge and closer to 0% but the OS (Windows) would say the laptop is at 60%. ![]() ![]() Click to expand.Batteries are a chemistry and the battery % reader on any device is an estimation that is imperfect.
