Yep, you got it! This should be a lot easier on your battery than 100% (even with Apple's Battery Health thing that keeps the cells exercised). Nice!
When I know I need to use my laptop away from the desk for a little bit - I'll set it to 80-85% - that way I can use it for an hour or two before it gets too low. But otherwise, I keep it at or around 55% just like you.
Perfect. Thanks. Yeah was wondering about changing it if headed out. sometimes I’m here all day and sometimes go out so will run it up to 80 then. Nice to be able to change on the fly. I’m thinking of getting a MacBook Air for taking out and keeping this one basically as the office computer connected to the externals so can just keep on 50% 24/7.

The Powerwalls and solar dropped our summer power bill from $450/mo to under $50!!! We go days without buying power from PG&E

While the latest news is about Apple Silicone the elephant in the room is that Apple glues down the battery and hard drive so that the computer can not be fixed when broken. Apple is also making certain chips unavailable to third party repair shops. Apple is tightening the reigns and soon your...
