discharge mode / sail mode

[pinkyellowed]

i have aldente pro, on the latest macbook pro and everything is up to par.
i have charge limit set at 60% and sail mode 20% lower than the charge limit with automatic discharge enabled.
am i understanding correctly, aldente will discharge automatically once charge limit is reached, recharging again once reached sail mode?

• my issue: once charge has reached my charge limit its been static at the 60% and i have to lower the charge limit just to have the discharging to begin, this undermines sail mode
• did i waste my money for sail mode, sail mode doesnt seem to be doing what its intended to do

Hi @pinkyellowed,

This is the intended behavior of the Sailing Mode.
It is a common misconception that the Sailing Mode does actively charge and discharge your MacBook between the sailing range. This would actually be much worse for the battery.
You can read a detailed description of what the Sailing Mode does on our blog "Feature Explanation: Sailing Mode"

Best,
Matthias
