Who use AlDente?
The apps won't work while the laptop sleep, right?
It suppose to continue charging up to 100, even when limit set.
But why mine's still stops at the limit set?
(Forgot to set the timer).

depends free or pro version

free version - battery will be charged when you put mac to sleep while plugged

i just unplug or turn off the power before I put mac to sleep

for your case, could it be the case that your battery needs calibration?

1st maybe try restart your mac 1st and see if the value will change / update

by the way, you have disable mac's internal battery optimisation setting right?

If you didn't, it might interfere with AlDente's function

I'm using the free version.

How to calibrate? The fullcharge > deplete battery?

Restarted.. it goes to 87 initially and back to 86.

Internal battery optimisation... in the Battery settings?

What's your charge limit % setting? did you accidentally changed it?

I set it at 85% since the first day i use it.
Thanks for the link.. I'll try to do that.

I mean the reason why you're using AlDente is to prevent the battery sitting at full charge if you use it plugged all the time

so why would you want it to go back to 100% when the mac goes to sleep?

the only time you want a full charge if that you need to work outside without power for several hours hmm.gif

I do intend to not fully charge the macbook
Just curious with the apps as it won't work when the laptop goes to sleep.
Before this, there's time when it'll charge to 100 when i forgot to turn off the charger.
But it's not happening just now...

are you using amphetamine app or smtg that prevent system from sleeping while lid is closed?

Hi All, I am a newbie to MacOS laptop although I had pretty much been invested in the apple eco system with iphone's, apple Watch, Airpod and Ipad for more than a decade.

Had always been favouring Windows laptop over the Apple macbook due to the gaming capability with Nvidia chipset. But I had stop gaming for sometime now and decide to upgrade my laptop.

I will be using mainly for Netflix, browsing, youtube, facebook, basic photo touch up and backup my iphone 15 pro 256gb and ipad via itune. Is the Macbook Air M1 enough for my requirement or shoudl I need something more powerful?
*
M1 more than enough

switched from Macbook Pro Intel to Macbook Air M1 ... no regrets
