How to use the a Charge Limit feature for the Mac in macOS Tahoe 26.4

In macOS Tahoe 26.4, you can use the new Charge Limit feature to cap your MacBook battery to a maximum of 80%–100% to extend its lifespan.

In macOS Tahoe 26.4, you can use the new Charge Limit feature to cap your MacBook battery to a maximum of 80%–100% to extend its lifespan. Here’s how:

° Open System Settings on your Mac.

° Select Battery from the sidebar.

° Click the information (“i”) button located next to the “Charging” option.

° Use the new slider/dropdown menu to select a maximum charge limit, ranging from 80% to 100% in 5% increments.

° Click Done. 

This feature is primarily for MacBooks and isn’t supported on older Intel-based Macs. The Charge Limit feature is designed to prevent the battery from staying at 100% capacity for too long, reducing wear on your laptop.
