Charge Limiter https://github.com/godly-devotion/charge-limiter/

With my MacBook and Dell Laptop, I have been able to use a power manager (in the case of the Dell) or scripts (in the case of the MacBook) to limit the charge level to 80%. It is my undertstanding that keeping a Li-Ion battery at 100% constantly is Not A Good Thing - which laptops plugged in over the course of a working day would almost certainly produce. This effect I think is more significant than charging to 100% and then switching to battery power immediately (to reduce the time spent at 100% to an absolute minimum) - which is what Apple offer with their iPhone optimised charging. That they do this does confirm that not doing something to limit the time spent at 100% is detrimental.

I know it obvious but get a bigger tray ! I found this that would fit , depending on the processor you have heat accumulating might be an issue with this tray... more over if you're gonna keep your laptop connected to power I recommend using this script to limit charge to 60%

Use a tool to limit the max charge to 80% and don't let it drop below 20%. It will be fine for many more years.

An alternative to AlDente is Charge Limiter.

Although my laptop wasn't used much, I never left it plugged in for long time and occasionally discharged it. I also use a charge limiter and keep it at 48% for when it has to be plugged in at a desk.

I have seen this, but have not tried it.
