<summary>IT DOES NOT WORK???</summary>
AlDente does only prevent your Mac from charging more than you specify, it does NOT automatically drain your battery to the specified percentage.
Firstly, AlDente does only prevent your Mac from charging more than you specify, it does NOT automatically drain your battery to the specified percentage. Secondly, make sure you have Apple's "Optimized battery charging" disabled, keeping it on will result in slow charging beyond the charge limit. Lastly, check the next questing regarding the behavior of AlDente while your MacBook is in sleep or powered off.

AlDente can not control the charging behavior of your MacBook while it is in sleep, or shut down. Therefore, it will continue to charge to 100% when you close the lid or shut it down. AlDente Pro has features called "Stop charging when sleeping" and "Stop charging when powered off" to counteract this behavior. You can read more about these features in our blog:

<summary>HELP, SAILING MODE DOES NOT WORK!?</summary>
The Sailing Mode is not intended to actively discharge your battery. Therefore, your MacBook will barely lose any energy even in Sailing Mode, since the power brick is the main source of energy. So do not worry when the battery percentage does not change even if the Sailing Mode is activated. Sailing Mode is still doing its thing.

<details>
<summary>WHY DOES THE SAILING MODE NOT CHARGE AND DISCHARGE THE MACBOOK BETWEEN A CERTAIN RANGE?</summary>
Unlike the common belief, it is actually way more unhealthy for a battery to always get cycled between a reasonable range (for example between 30% and 70%) than to just stay at a healthy percentage (for example 80%). This is due to even reasonable charge cycling adding a lot of charge cycles which results in more and faster battery degradation over time than just using the MacBook plugged in at a healthy percentage. However, this does not mean that you should not use your MacBook remotely. MacBooks are portable devices but if you use your MacBook in your office pugged in, it is better to just limit charging to a healthy percentage than to cycle between a certain range.

<summary>HELP MY BATTERY CAPACITY DROPPED AND MY MACBOOK TURNS OFF WITH 50% LEFT</summary>
Keeping your battery at a lower percentage, such as 20-70%, over weeks without doing full cycles (0%-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 month. Even if your battery calibration gets disturbed, doing 4-5 full cycles will recalibrate your battery and the capacity will go up again.

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 4-5 full cycles will recalibrate your battery and the capacity will go up again. AlDente Pro has a feature called Calibration Mode(https://apphousekitchen.com/feature-explanation-calibration-mode-2/), which will automatically do a full cycle when startet.
