[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1935684, member: 204485"] I [I]think[/I] this setting is on by default and I've never had a reason to turn it off. [ATTACH type="full" alt="Screenshot 2023-09-11 at 8.16.23 am.png"]38690[/ATTACH] What I observe is that if I use my MBP on battery as I did yesterday until the battery reached 65%, reconnecting the MagSafe only recharges the device to 80%. This morning it is still at 80% and the MagSafe displays a orange/red light. It will stay this way until Friday because I hold a Zoom meeting every Friday, Saturday an Sunday on battery power. The algorithm has learned that I don't need a fully charged battery until Friday. [B]But[/B], if I change the routine, if say I was to shut the device down today or run it on battery today it will most likely charge to 100% when I next plug it back in to AC power. I say "most likely" because I have noticed that closing the lid and disconnecting the power o/night does not effect the pattern. It seems that the battery needs to be "used" but how much? I cannot say. Regardless of all of this, I know that if I continue to use the device plugged in for the rest of the week (until Friday) the pattern of charging to 80% will continue until then. I consider this to be a good thing although it's obvious that the algorithm is fairly limited, in that, it requires a very consistent pattern of use to predict your need/or not for a fully charged battery, erring on the side of 100% charge when in doubt, also a good thing. Here is what it does for me; [ATTACH type="full" alt="Screenshot 2023-09-11 at 8.31.39 am.png"]38691[/ATTACH] And below is what I see when I click on the Battery icon in the menu bar; [ATTACH]38692[/ATTACH] You can see that I could choose to "Charge to Full Now" but if I do that I will break the pattern learned by the algorithm and it will have to start "learning" anew. I hope that's helpful.:coffee: [/QUOTE]
