Prevent charger from charging battery on Mac M1 #39

Open anarchy89 opened 2 years ago

Is there a way to prevent the charger from charging the battery and to directly power the laptop instead using the terminal? I used to be able to do this one my intel Mac by blocking the middle pin. Is there a software / terminal command solution to this?

I wondered the same thing for M1 macs, and this is what I found: https://github.com/actuallymentor/battery
