Determine battery cycle count for Mac laptops
Well, Optimized Battery Charging feature is somewhat useful, but it lacks the ability to set up manually. Instead it will learn your schedule and charge the battery accordingly. Therefore, I seek out to find the best open-source alternative to this feature.
BatFi comes to the rescue.
Once you have set up the charging limit, it will automatically stop charging and resume to use AC power instead. This will reduce the number of cycles significantly. Especially while working with heavy tasks, with the original 67W charger, I can easily do anything even charging multiple other devices at the same time.
1 year of heavy usage, running multiple VMs, and the total cycle count is only 51 with 100% battery health.
