Al Dente Mac App Review // The SECRET To 100% Battery Health On MacBook Pro? ⚡️?
Today we review Al Dente for the MacBook Pro, which is an app designed to help extend your MacBook's battery life as long as possible. If you're worried about keeping your Mac's battery health at 100%, Al Dente might be exactly what you are looking for. Al Dente allows you to choose how your Mac charges which is invaluable, as you can tailor it exactly to your needs. For example, I tend to keep my MacBook Pro plugged in 24/7 and hardly ever use it on battery full-time due to how I work and my current setup. With this in mind, keeping your Mac at 100% battery all the time stresses the lithium-ion and/or lithium-polymer battery in the MacBook Pro. This is not ideal. It's also not ideal to drain your battery and refill it everyday. So what can you do? You can get Al Dente, specify a charge limit (in my case, 50% with a sail of 10% meaning it can drop to 45% or go up to 55% even when plugged in all day. This keeps the battery happy, and helps me not worry about the battery as much. It has an easy discharge feature, as well as a top-up feature. There's a free version of Al Dente and you can also pay to unlock more features like sailing mode. Hopefully this video shows you how to use Al Dente and why it might be useful for the health of your Mac Laptop's battery. Link to download Al Dente: https://bit.ly/AlDenteLink Al Dente description from AppHouseKitchen's website: Use AlDente and extend the life of your MacBooks Battery. (MacOS 11 Big Sur or newer required) Li-ion and polymer batteries (like the one in your MacBook) last the longest when operated between 20% and 60%. Keeping your battery at 100% most of the time will significantly shorten the lifespan of your MacBooks battery and Replacing an old battery is not only harmful to the environment but also costs up to $199. With AlDente installed, you can set a charging limit in a more healthy charging range, and with more features like Sailing Mode or Heat Protection you can keep your battery healthy even longer. FREE FEATURES: AlDente allows you to limit your MacBook from charging above a certain percentage. This will not only decrease Battery wear but also increase longevity of your Battery. This feature allows your MacBook to run completely on Battery even if it is plugged in. Therefore, you can actively discharge your MacBook to a more healthy percentage. PRO FEATURES: Charging your battery while its temperature is high results in faster battery degradation. With Heat Protection enabled, charging will automatically stop when your battery temperature is too high. Normally, your MacBooks battery will always charge and discharge slightly to stay at a desired SoC, even when the Charge Limiter is activated. With Sailing Mode, it is possible to set a "sailing" range in which the battery will stay. Example: Sailing Mode is set between 75% and 80%. After charging to 80% AlDente will automatically let the battery fall back to 75% over time. When 75% is reached, it will charge back to 80% Keep track of everything whats happening with your battery with our live update menu bar icons which differentiate four states: Connected and Charging, Connected and Charging Paused, Connected and Discharging, and Discharging You have planned a long working session with no access to a plug? No worries, with TOP UP activated, AlDente will charge your battery to 100% just one time. Keeping your battery at a lower percentage, such as 20-70%, over weeks without doing full cycles can result in a disturbed battery calibration. To avoid this, you just have to do a full cycle at least once a month. With Calibration Mode activated, AlDente will perform a cycle (15%-100%) on its own. Schedule based Calibration will be implemented in a future update. With shortcuts you can pause and start charging just with a right click on the menu bar symbol. With “Stop charging when sleeping” activated, AlDente will pause charging right before your MacBook goes into sleep. Therefore, charging will not continue even when it is in sleep. #AlDente #MacBook #Battery Gear I use: ? Camera: https://amzn.to/35jUcXZ ? Lighting: https://amzn.to/2ZMZZEa ?
