Hi. Tried to read all relevant posts on this thread, but there are a lot of them to go through!
I had a 2018 MBP that worked fantastically, until lockdown last year. From that point on, I mainly used it as a desktop replacement, since the 2012 iMac couldn't handle the MacOS version I needed. At some point during this time, my battery really took a hit, and subsequently went from 100 to 50% very noticeably quicker than it did - due I'm sure to having it plugged in almost constantly for nearly 2years.
Having upgraded recently to the 16in MBP M1 Max, I use the same Elgato thunderbolt dock with it, which also handles power but also allows me to connect my two 32in monitors, and ethernet connection to my fibre.
I still spend a lot of time in my home office with this setup, which I think is the best of both worlds since this machine is an absolute beast. However, I'm anxious not to repeat the same mistake with regards to the battery. I've seen that it sometimes stops at 80% by itself, but with it being new and the novelty of such a powerful machine, I occasionally disconnect it and use it in other areas of the house. Therefore, my charges will be a bit irregular.
So, based on the setup I have, should I use software like this? Are there any others? The Github page seems to suggest it supports Monterey and the M1 Max, but are others using this and is it working well?
Cheers
