In the latest update of Catalina macOS, version 10.15.5 brought a very important feature for the owners of MacBook. A system of analyzing and management of Mac energy resources with the aim of Extend the battery life.
It is known that batteries with Tehnologia lithium-ion They are the most advanced at this time. It is loaded quickly, resists a lot in use and have the best loading technology for devices. With the passage of time their performance begin to decrease. The battery work time is reduced, and at one point this MacBook consumable will have to be changed. After all, we are talking about the only consumable component of Mac, iPhone, iPad, airpods or any other device that uses batteries / batteries, on which time (chemical aging) and the mode of use It leaves its most obvious fingerprint. The more a more idealized macbook battery is used, the more its performance will be reduced.
In the past I wrote about MacBook batteries in “Correct use and battery life on MacBook / MacBook Pro"si"How to alfam how worn is the battery of a MacBook, MacBook Air or MacBook Pro (charging cycles)"
This feature of "Battery Health Management"Introduced Macos Catalina 10.15.5 is not a novelty in the Apple ecosystem. The options have been present on the iPhone"Peak Performance Capabillity"si"Optimized Battery Charging", Which have the purpose of extending the battery life.
Option Battery Health Management It is not much different.
Battery Health Management - what is and how the MacBook's battery life extends
This feature will collect data about use behavior and loading of MacBook's battery. The cycles and the level of charging / unloading of the battery, the history of the battery temperatures and the loading mode. Based on these collected data, a personalized optimization will be done. With the function Battery Health Management activated can reduce battery charging level, to avoid the chemical degradation of. They will be practically Fewer loading cycles. In terms of user experience, it will have at your disposal A lower use time of the MacBook when it is not besides a power supply.
Note that Battery Health Management will extend the battery life period only in the scenario you have habit to load your MacBook several times a day.
If MacBook Stays most of the time connected to a power supply, with the battery to 100%then it is highly recommended to turn off Battery Health Management. In this scenario the effect will be reducing battery life, because a MacBook if it is kept permanently connected to the power source, reached 100%, the battery will no longer be requested.
The function Battery Health Management It is present on all MacBook devices with USB-C Thunderbolt 3 port and is activated automatically after updating Macos Catalina or when installing the latest macOS operating system. So, if you have updated to the latest macos version, and Battery Health Manage will not help you, it is good to Disable this function.
How can we disable Battery Health Management on Macos
The new function of finding in "System Preferences” → “Energy Saver” → “Battery Health..”
Click on "Battery Health.. ", Uncheck the" Battery Health Management "option, then in the dialog box that will open, click"Turn Off“.
Once this option is disabled, the battery use behavior will no longer be monitored and it is no longer optimizing it in order to expand the life time.
If you are a person in motion and make chaotic loads of the MacBook, it is good to leave this active option.
