Unplug Your Laptop Now, or It Will Stay Plugged in Forever
https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/406957/can-i-tell-...
Looks like there's a decent CLI tool for it, but being a Mac guy I'm of course going for the slick GUI app https://apphousekitchen.com. The developer came up with a really clever incentive for free-app users to upgrade to the Pro version: make the icons for the free version unbelievably ugly. (The design of the app itself is excellent)

Best practices for keeping Mac battery healthy?
download AlDente and your battery will thank you. If you have it plugged in most of the time limit the charge to 80% and AlDente will stop charging beyond that.

Constant Plugged in?
Just a shame keeping the battery at 100% will degrade its health over time. I would love an option to keep it at 50% most of the time, just like my MacBook with AlDente.
- is there any Thunderbolt hub that I can turn off charging while it's connected to the Macbook?

Charging a lithium battery to 80% only?
It's not possible to set a hard limit in macOS without third party utility like AlDente [1].
I was referring to the built-in "Optimised battery charging" feature. When this is active and has decided it will cap charging at 80%, you get a "charge to full now" option in the battery menu.

Got a 14" M1 Max with 64Gb + 2TB + 3yrs Applecare+ for $2650 after tax. Do I need this battery app?
I was told to get this app to help maximize battery life as it keep it within 30-80% charge instead of 100%. Would this app help prolong the battery life?

Unplug Your Laptop Now, or It Will Stay Plugged in Forever
Apple took this out of Mac OS somewhat recently. You can try to rely on their power management, but given battery decay is a common reason to buy a new machine I don’t trust them really.
If you have an Apple Silicon Mac I can recommend Battery [1]. It can keep your Mac at 80%, and even force discharge while plugged in to get there. It’s a CLI and status bar utility, I love it.

BatteryKid – yet another macOS charge limiter

Charging a lithium battery to 80% only?
FYI, on Apple Silicon Apple included a firmware-level "hard-switch" to limit the charge to 75/80% only. It was discovered by marcan while working on Asahi and in my experience it's much more convenient than the built-in ML-based solution (and also less hacky and bloated than AlDente).
See this discussion on GitHub[0] for the explanation and this snippet[1] for easy use.

Thoughts on Aldente Pro
Anyways, al dente didn’t do the job for me. I found this https://github.com/actuallymentor/battery it also discharges and keep it to whatever percentage you feel comfortable with with. So now it’s always on 80, which I prefer.
