Setting a Charging Limit on MacBook Air M4

  • 💡 To extend the battery life of your MacBook Air M4, you can set a charging limit using the optimized battery charging feature.
  • 🎯 This feature learns your daily charging routine to help prevent battery aging.

Enabling Optimized Battery Charging

  • ⚙️ Begin by opening the Apple menu in the top-left corner of your screen and navigating to System Settings.
  • 🔋 Within System Settings, locate and open the Battery section.
  • ℹ️ Tap the information icon next to Battery Health to access the relevant settings.
  • ✅ Ensure the toggle next to Optimized Battery Charging is switched to the right, indicating it is enabled.

How the Charging Limit Works

  • 🔌 Once enabled, your Mac will learn your charging habits.
  • 📈 It will pause charging at 80% and only complete the charge when it anticipates you will need a full battery.
  • ⏳ This process helps to prevent long-term battery aging by reducing the time the battery spends at full charge.
