a little concern #1049

Closed HeadmasterEggy closed 9 months ago

HeadmasterEggy commented 9 months ago

I slightly paid some attention to the difference between using Aldente and not using Aldente, and it appeared that when I was using it, the count cycle increased quicker, and it ran counter when not using it. idk if it's my hallucination.

Hi @HeadmasterEggy,

In general, the cycle count increases by one when the MacBook is charged and discharged by a total of 100% once. Therefore, if the MacBook is primarily used plugged in and charging limited by AlDente, the cycle count should increase much slower than without AlDente.

Best, Matthias

Also, there is already an issue open about this question/concern #418. Therefore I will close this one and post any update on the original one.

Best, Matthias
