Recently the MacOS Catalina’s 10.15.5 update introduced a Battery Health Management feature. You know how Apple MacBooks are famous for their endurance. Still, the MacBook’s battery has only a finite number of charge cycles. After the charge cycles are complete, you need to replace the battery.
For this reason, Apple decided to include the Battery health management function. This feature works on MacBooks like the 2016 MacBook Pro and 2018 MacBook Air that ship with USB-C Thunderbolt 3 ports. If you are interested in the new Battery health management feature, then continue reading to learn more about its usage and benefits.
How does the Battery health management feature work?
Apple uses the Lithium-ion batteries that get charged quickly. Still, they also become defective as the batteries undergo a series of temperature changes and different charging patterns. The Battery health management feature is similar to the iPhone’s Optimized Battery Charging function that controls the charging of the device. Your MacBook’s battery has a limited amount of charge circles. After the charge circles finish, the battery starts to lose its peak capacity. Here the Battery health management can help you with keeping the charge cycles in check. This feature comes handy when you connect your MacBook to an external consistent power source.
