MacBook Pro 2015 early with macOS 10.15.6
After I uninstalled AIDente，macOS didn't stop charge battery even it‘s fully charged.(battery 100%，but the LED on magsafe plug always orange not green）

Did anyone can tell me how to uninstall AIDente in the correct way？

Have you tried reseting the SMC?

Look for com.davidwernhart.Helper, com.davidwernhart.Helper.plist and erase both files (located under /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools and /Library/LaunchDaemons) and that's it.

Reboot and reset SMC

I deleted those files and did an SMC reset but it doesn't improve.
Is there any other way?

I ran into this same issue and came across this thread. I solved it by reinstalling Al Dente, making sure the max battery limit was set to 100% in the app, then going through the uninstall/SMC reset. It seems that uninstalling and resetting the SMC does not completely happen if a charging limit under 100% was in effect before uninstalling the app.
