 An installation guide can be found on our website:[Installation Guide](https://apphousekitchen.com/installation-guide/)
 
 ## How to use
-When the installation is finished, enter your desired max. charging percentage by clicking on the 🍝 icon on your menu bar. Usually, the operating system will take a minute or two to register the changes, so be patient. You can check if it's working by setting the max. percentage to e.g., 80%. After a while, clicking on your battery icon will report "Battery is not charging" if you have more than ≈73% left, even though your charger is connected. Notice that in this state, your MacBook is still powered by the charger, but the battery is not charging anymore.

Notice that in this state, your MacBook is still powered by the charger, but the battery is bypassed and not charging anymore.
 
-IMPORTANT: Keeping your battery at a lower percentage, such as under 80%, for weeks without doing full cycles (100%-0%) can result in a disturbed battery calibration. When this happens, your MacBook might turn off with 40-50% left or your battery capacity will drop significantly. However, this is only due to a disturbed battery calibration and not because of a faulty or degraded battery. To avoid this issue, we recommend doing at least one full cycle (0%-100%) every two weeks. Even if your battery calibration gets disturbed, doing 4+ full cycles will recalibrate your battery, and the capacity will go up again.

 ## Disclaimer:
