AlDente Pro 1.35.1 macOS

Given how difficult and expensive it is to replace a battery on an Apple device, it’s understandable why people try to keep them going for as long as possible.

AlDente was designed to help users maximize battery lifespan by preventing it from charging all the way to 100%. This should help keep your battery in good shape for longer, and it’s something you can’t easily do by yourself.

The Lithium-ion battery in your MacBook will degrade the least when operating between 30 and 80 percent of its maximum charge level. While it’s not too difficult to prevent your laptop from dropping below 30% charge, keeping an eye on it while it charges to stop it from getting to 100% isn’t really feasible.

The macOS Battery Health Management feature is meant to help with this, but it doesn’t simply set a cap on the charge level. It tries to take your usage and charging patterns into account, which is understandable, as Apple can’t just limit battery capacity across the board.

After running the app, you will find it in your menu bar. From here, you can set the upper limit your MacBook’s battery will be charged to. AlDente works by writing that value to your laptop’s SMC (System Management Controller).

The app will then run at login automatically and prevent your device from being charged past that percentage. 80% is generally recommended, but you can set any other value you prefer.

Bottom line: if you want to keep your MacBook going for years down the line, AlDente should help, at least as far as the battery is concerned. It’s a more drastic measure than the Battery Health Management macOS feature, but it could be a smart move in the long run.
