Understanding Apple's BHM Feature and AlDente Pro

In recent discussions, users have been experiencing issues with Apple's Battery Health Management (BHM) feature on their devices. Specifically, some users are not seeing the charging indicator go on and off while holding their device at a specific percentage. This has led to many questions about how this feature works and its relationship with AlDente Pro, a third-party app designed to manage battery health.

According to Apple's implementation of BHM, the feature does not compare amps 'out' and battery percentage to find an amps 'in' to keep it there. Instead, it simply informs the System Management Controller (SMC) what maximum charge to hold. This means that the charging indicator may appear to be on and off when holding a device at a specific percentage.

Some users have been wondering if AlDente Pro supplies a trickle charge to keep the battery percentage stable or if it's just turning the power on and off to jump between low and high percentage points. Unfortunately, there is no definitive answer yet, as AlDente Pro is still in development, with an update (1.2) planned to address code signing bugs.

Another concern raised by users is whether a SMC reset will revert the firmware code back to default and delete AlDente's code. This is a significant risk, given that some firmware updates have been known to brick units. David Wernhart, the developer of AlDente Pro, has stated that the app taps into very low-level system functions not meant to be tampered with.

Users have also expressed frustration about Apple's implementation of BHM, which seems to only allow for a limited range of battery percentages (down to the low 90s) before returning to full charge. This can lead to increased cycles and reduced battery lifespan.

In conclusion, while there is still much uncertainty surrounding Apple's BHM feature and AlDente Pro, users are encouraged to continue submitting feedback and monitoring their device's battery health. With any luck, future updates will provide more clarity on how this feature works and its relationship with third-party apps like AlDente Pro.
