Battery Charge Limit: Extending Your Mac & iPhone Battery Life
Apple has introduced a Battery Charge Limit feature designed to help preserve the long-term health of your Mac and iPhone batteries. This feature limits the maximum charge to 80%, reducing the time your battery spends at full charge, which can contribute to battery degradation over time.
How it Works:
Traditionally, lithium-ion batteries degrade faster when consistently kept at 100% charge. By capping the charge at 80%, Apple aims to minimize this degradation, possibly extending the overall lifespan of your battery. The system learns your charging habits and will intelligently resume normal charging patterns when needed (e.g., before a planned trip).
Where to Find It:
* Mac: The Battery Charge Limit setting is available in System Settings > Battery > Battery Health. (This feature is available on Macs with apple silicon.)
* iPhone: The Optimized Battery Charging feature, which functions similarly, is found in settings > Battery > Battery Health & Charging. You can toggle on “80% Limit“.
Who is it For?
Battery Charge Limit is particularly beneficial for users who:
* Frequently keep their devices plugged in for extended periods.
* Don’t regularly fully discharge their batteries.
* Want to maximize the long-term health of their battery.
Wrap Up
Battery Charge Limit is a valuable tool for extending battery health, especially for MacBooks often used in stationary setups with constant power access. It’s a simple setting that can potentially make a notable difference in the longevity of your device’s battery. Do you use Charge Limit or Optimized Battery Charging on your devices?
