I repair Macs. Just use basic lithium battery practices:
Beware of add-ons that access hardware, for various reasons.
Apple batteries are rated for around 1000 cycles, or around 5 years of average use. Follow the above advice and you might eke out 1500 or so.
Is leaving it plugged in with a charge limit of 80% better than cycling the battery? Wouldn’t the internal power management bypass the battery?
i have a 2021 mbp with 1400 cycles. 77% capacity.
