Is using charge limiters like AlDente bad for your battery? The app page says that it might confuse battery calibration and cause turning off at e.x. 40%. Are there anybody who uses AlDente? How is your battery health on your macbook? Have you noticed any drawbacks?

You can always recalibrate your battery. I think AlDente is just putting out a disclaimer to be safe.

But Apple stopped recommending this:

Almost 2 years ago I got a new battery in my 15 inch MacBook Pro, using tools like AlDente my battery health is still above 100%. It came with 105% capacity installed.

*NOT* using AlDente is even worse for your battery.
