I‘m using Al Dente on my MBA that I bought in jan 2023 and it gives me some peace of mind whenever I use it plugged in for longer hours. Have it set to keep the battery to 90% charged, which for me is enough juice to use my machine unplugged when I need to. Every once in a while I disable Al Dente to charge to 100% for calibration purposes. If this whole process really does something good for long term battery health I don‘t know, it should at least do no harm.
