HI all.

Finally changed my old laptop and I've been wondering if I should be using an app like Al Dente or batt to preserve it's battery cycles. Anyone have personal experiences with one or the other that they care to comment on?

Thanks!

It is on my MacBook Air. It sits closed on my desk with an external display, plugged in 24/7 and sits at 80%, every now and then it charges to 100%, or discharges back to 80%.

It was like that when I bought it in July last year. Seems to be a current MacOS feature.
