I've used charge limit on my MBA, because it stays plugged in almost 100% of the time—I find that being limited to 80% wasn't such an issue, bc it was easy to top it off if needed before going out, and very often I just didn't need to.
I never used it on my 15PM, because I love having a lot of battery, and I often upgrade, so I did what I usually do—just use it and charge it without thinking of it. Also on my phone I really would notice 20% less battery, so since that was the only option I didn't use it.
After a year my 15PM is at 93%, which is not great, but in my experience kind of typical.
But now it's all different—the new charge limit on iOS 18 gives us 80%, 85%, 90%, and 95%!
I like this a lot, but I'm wondering what other folks are thinking.
For me, since I lost 7% in one year, I'd be tempted to try out 95% or even 90% to get almost all my capacity, but cut down on the heat and excess charging.
Curious about other people. Will you be trying charge limiting? What level will you be trying? If you did it last year when it worked at 80%, how did it work for you?
