My Macbook Pro M1 Pro 14' is 90% after 450 cycles. Heavy usage. Only full brightness when plugged in. Never let it discharge bellow 20% and charge habits are 30% - 100%, I guess that's why I'm keeping a good ratio between battery percentage and cycles.

Change your devices every 3 years just for the sake of it? Terrible advice imho especially if they are still working good. We don't need more e-waste. Laptops can last and be useful for so much more years...
This is a quite interesting topic. I would be more curious about batteries inside Windows gaming laptops. Doesn't matter which brand. As far as I know, they should be plugged in always during difficult tasks like gaming, 3D rendering etc. If not, they are less powerful, not to mention that they aren't even close to MacBook 18 hours on battery. That would more interesting, how a gaming laptop goes with the battery let's say after 2 years compared when it was new. I never searched for this info, but strange that I never saw something about this topic.
@@FREE_TEKNO Never.. I never let it discharge till 0%. I'll always charge when it reaches to 20% and keep it plugged in whenever power source is available. And also FYI when I'm keeping it for days without using.. i charge it upto 50% and shut it down.
The thing is you've only used 50 cycles in an entire year. My Mac gives 1.5 days battery backup for development & moderate uses so I've to recharge it in every 2 days. That means I would reach 180-200 cycles a year. And all by means I would lose >20% battery health. So the conclusion is it's up our use cases. PS: I also follow 20%-80% charge cycles rules most of the time if I'm not travelling and also use Aldante to stop charging my Mac at 70% when using an external monitor.
There’s a recommendation to use MagSafe - or at least, Apple’s system seems to prefer it when it’s available. The question is, why did they even add MagSafe when USB-C works great? It would be better to have four Thunderbolt ports instead of taking up unnecessary space
I do not see how. The only potential issues are mis-calibration and unbalanced cells which are easily solved with an occasional charge to full and will not cause detrimental damage, only temporary capacity loss and slightly inaccurate battery percentages. The facts are facts, and the fact is Apple is still using traditional Li-Ion technology that should be charged to full as little as possible and should not be kept at high voltage for long periods of time.

When you said don’t update after 3 years to keep power consumption low, you lost some credibility. Dumbest advice I have heard, ever. Just buy a new device. lol. The new MacBook pros have a battery life of 7-12 years. Just use it.
😂😂😂 Honestly, just use your Mac as you need to and don't worry about it. If you end up needing to replace your Macs battery in a 3-5 years time, it's no big deal. Most Apple stores can replace a Mac battery within a few hours and it's easier/cheaper than its ever been, $150 - $250 (depending on the model). This video is ridiculous and in some parts just complete BS. You certainly do not need to replace a Mac after 3yrs lol....this guy doesn't have a clue what he is talking about 😅😅😂
Bought iPhone 15 pro last year. Less than 1 year battery health dropped to 99%. It’s good that before I switch to Apple fully I see their business strategy. Consumers do not actually own Apple products fully, in the name of software upgrade and new features which doesn’t really matter on day to day operations, but only just to ensure that product depreciates and used product to loose value for second sale, even Apple doesn’t pay enough for trade ins. Replacing batteries would cost much from Apple. My iPhone 5 is unusable even though it’s in pristine condition. All apps doesn’t support I OS less than 13 . Mac is not different. The most funny thing about Apple consumers are that, all of them are money conscious, which doesn’t makes sense. You buy Apple products for cost optimisation ? 😂
Lol wtf is wrong with you you use your phone for 1 year and expected to thr battery to be ata brand new condition batteries are gonna degrade overtime its not apple any battery it its stay at 99% after 1 years means that's damn good

Nitish Rajput got company😂
just what we needed
Mine is at 90 percent after 190 cycles. Very scary
The power banks looks bomb. 😅
i bought m2 pro 32gb after 6 months my battery percentage is approx 90% health, the day i bought it since I'm using it always on low power, 50% time using USB c display, how I'm 90% health approx 50 charge cycle, is something wrong with my device ?
Charge habits + letting discharge the device below 0 several times + full brightness on battery are the common problems like on your case
My Macbook Pro M1 Pro 14' is 90% after 450 cycles. Heavy usage. Only full brightness when plugged in. Never let it discharge bellow 20% and charge habits are 30% - 100%, I guess that's why I'm keeping a good ratio between battery percentage and cycles. Apple says after 1000 cycles battery will get on that 80% so I'm doing a good job 😅 Using Coconut Battery App sometimes as well...
Oh, and my Iphone 13 mini is 86% after 700 cycles, also Heavy usage 😅
Change your devices every 3 years just for the sake of it? Terrible advice imho especially if they are still working good. We don't need more e-waste. Laptops can last and be useful for so much more years...
This is a quite interesting topic. I would be more curious about batteries inside Windows gaming laptops. Doesn't matter which brand. As far as I know, they should be plugged in always during difficult tasks like gaming, 3D rendering etc. If not, they are less powerful, not to mention that they aren't even close to MacBook 18 hours on battery. That would more interesting, how a gaming laptop goes with the battery let's say after 2 years compared when it was new. I never searched for this info, but strange that I never saw something about this topic.
My macbook air M1 is having 60% battery percentage after 259 charge cycles... Idk what is happening
You had let it discharge to 0% several times and keep it without battery for days, right? right? 🤣 That's why
@@FREE_TEKNO Never.. I never let it discharge till 0%. I'll always charge when it reaches to 20% and keep it plugged in whenever power source is available. And also FYI when I'm keeping it for days without using.. i charge it upto 50% and shut it down.
@@jathindumpala9533 Well, then if you bought it on a apple store just ask for a battery replacement for free to apple directly
i use aldente on my 14' MBP, only on 99% battery capacity after 60 cycles
nice. I'm 97% capacity on 95 cycles. macbook air m2 15in
I didn't know any shit and after 123 cycles my battery is 90 😢
Macbook air m1 2yr 90% battery health ideal
The thing is you've only used 50 cycles in an entire year. My Mac gives 1.5 days battery backup for development & moderate uses so I've to recharge it in every 2 days. That means I would reach 180-200 cycles a year. And all by means I would lose >20% battery health. So the conclusion is it's up our use cases.
PS: I also follow 20%-80% charge cycles rules most of the time if I'm not travelling and also use Aldante to stop charging my Mac at 70% when using an external monitor.
Why does the cycle count keep increasing?
my MacBook Pro 16 M1 Pro is at 84% after only 27 Cycles :o
How long do you have it? Do you use it connected most of the time?
@@chrisgilgen8442 24 month. Connected all the time, but empty it ones a month like internet suggested
Better solution get AppleCare and stop worrying about the battery!
Contradictions in every new video...
There’s a recommendation to use MagSafe - or at least, Apple’s system seems to prefer it when it’s available. The question is, why did they even add MagSafe when USB-C works great? It would be better to have four Thunderbolt ports instead of taking up unnecessary space
M2 air 99% health 2 years, continous usage in hot country, always using roblox, youtube, heavy modded minecraft
Do you use it plugged in all the time?
@@david0411 never because i live in hot country so it will become hotter even when charging while not in use
@@PabloSan88 what method do you follow? Like 20% charge it and unplug it at 80% or what do you follow?
@@connectwithanandsuresh i charge till 100 then charge when it drops to 30
In your dreams maybe
Jibbar jabbar..!!
AlDante actually harts battery more then it helps!!!
I do not see how. The only potential issues are mis-calibration and unbalanced cells which are easily solved with an occasional charge to full and will not cause detrimental damage, only temporary capacity loss and slightly inaccurate battery percentages. The facts are facts, and the fact is Apple is still using traditional Li-Ion technology that should be charged to full as little as possible and should not be kept at high voltage for long periods of time.

I do still have access to acedemic credentials so you may or may not be able to easily access all of these.
In my experience AlDente will make your Macbook doesnt charge anymore when you uninstall it. SMC reset do the job but not practical
The heck is this advise? Throw away your devices after 3 years and don’t update them. Wtf big dislike
I always charge my m2 pro overnight and the OBC always works based on the battery graph it stops charging upto 80% until 5am.
Not a bad video but kinda wasted my time not gonna lie
Heluuu Arthurr😊
listened to 7 minutes worth of waffle and none the wiser about how to actually optimise battery usage - pretty useless video
you should just use your laptop
Or just have the limit to 80% feature like the ones from the aldente app or latest Apple Watch natively on Mac instead of installing aldente.
Macbook pro m1 16 - 274 cycles, down to 85%. Mostly on power. (Works 5-7 hours on battery. i think chrome being the biggest drain). Charging from below 20% is very rare.
yeap
I didn't use chrome I only use firefox blue that is meant for developers and it is good.
These types of video are not really helpfull. Like someone said, 80% sponsoring, 20% information and it is not enough. Shame on you. I think Al dente may be a real good solution
When you said don’t update after 3 years to keep power consumption low, you lost some credibility. Dumbest advice I have heard, ever.
Just buy a new device. lol.
The new MacBook pros have a battery life of 7-12 years. Just use it.
So it’s not accurate lol
bro is yapping 90 percent of the video
My M2 pro is 1 year old and battery health is still a 100
What's your charging routine?
@@honeybuzzard2843twice or thrice a week but same now its at 97 percent all of a sudden it dropped 3 days ago😂
😂😂😂 Honestly, just use your Mac as you need to and don't worry about it. If you end up needing to replace your Macs battery in a 3-5 years time, it's no big deal. Most Apple stores can replace a Mac battery within a few hours and it's easier/cheaper than its ever been, $150 - $250 (depending on the model). This video is ridiculous and in some parts just complete BS. You certainly do not need to replace a Mac after 3yrs lol....this guy doesn't have a clue what he is talking about 😅😅😂
Terrible video, just 11 minutes worth of sponsorships
Bought iPhone 15 pro last year. Less than 1 year battery health dropped to 99%. It’s good that before I switch to Apple fully I see their business strategy. Consumers do not actually own Apple products fully, in the name of software upgrade and new features which doesn’t really matter on day to day operations, but only just to ensure that product depreciates and used product to loose value for second sale, even Apple doesn’t pay enough for trade ins. Replacing batteries would cost much from Apple. My iPhone 5 is unusable even though it’s in pristine condition. All apps doesn’t support I OS less than 13 . Mac is not different. The most funny thing about Apple consumers are that, all of them are money conscious, which doesn’t makes sense. You buy Apple products for cost optimisation ? 😂
Lol wtf is wrong with you you use your phone for 1 year and expected to thr battery to be ata brand new condition batteries are gonna degrade overtime its not apple any battery it its stay at 99% after 1 years means that's damn good
"My M2 pro Macbook Pro" sounds so gay bro 😂
MacBook just a tool, you should more care about how to use that to make more profit, if your care about more on battery or other parts of thing, you definitely dont need an Macbook
Thats the point! You can learn skills to earn dosens of macbook worth with this device.
bro you speak alot
Think he should do sign language instead? XD
