      Not required on modern Mac. Have not used it and compared my battery health to those who have and my health is better with more cycles.

        Optimised battery charging never correctly figures out my habits which are very random, so I use Al Dente.

      MacOS has a built in 80% limiter for Macs that stay plugged in a lot. There is even a menu bar option to trigger a charge to 100% before needing to leave.

        Yeah but it that one doesn’t always trigger for me, and it does stay plugged in a lot.

          I check mine periodically and it seems to work all the time. Are you on the latest MacOS and patch level?
