1 month ago Hi, I confirm that the app is broken. I don't know if this is related to the recent macOS updates.
I managed to restore my Mac's charging behavior with the following 2 steps:
- By uninstalling the application in CLI with the
battery uninstallcommand. - By resetting my SMC using the Apple procedure
colinbrislawn
What is the issue? (required) A clear and concise description of what the bug is.
GUI does not change charging behavior, in fact it does nearly nothing. The only features that work are enabling the 80% limit and force discharging to the 80% limit. For everything else you must rely on terminal command lines. If you uninstall there are a ton of errors on reboot, and you'll be stuck with whatever battery % was setup in command line, or 80% in GUI.
What exactly did you do to produce the issue? (required) Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Expected behavior (required) Expect the disable to actually stop the 80% limit. Expect uninstall to remove entirely and restore back to normal charging function. Does not.
Screenshots (optional)
Error logs If you know how a terminal works, please paste the content of
