    Poll: how many hours of daily continuous charging to engage "Optimized battery charging"?

    Is has been already 19 days of daily charging on my Macbook Air M3 in bouts of 5 hours (From 9:00 PM to 1:00 AM).

    Optimized Battery Charging

    Hi, I've got a new Macbook Air M3. I'm trying to learn my mac to use Optimized Battery Charging. My Question is: is 5 hours of daily charging on a regular schedule enough to let it engage Optimized Battery Charing after 14 days?

I’ve...

    Ultra - How to enable Optimized Battery Charging?

    I have 2 phones, iPhone 12 and 7 Plus, both with the same iCloud and App store logged in account. iPhone 7 Plus: OBC (Optimized battery charging) turned on, significant locations off (so OBC probably won't work) iPhone 12: OBC turned on, everything turned on in privacy When I charge both...
