Apple hari ini melepaskan kemas kini terbaru macOS Catalina 10.15.5 kepada pengguna macOS. Terdapat beberapa penambahbaikan dan ciri baru diperkenalkan dalam kemas kini tersebut khususnya bagi pengguna komputer riba Apple.

Dalam kemas kini terbaru ini, Apple telah memperkenalkan ciri baru yang dikenali sebagai “Battery Health Management”.

“The battery health management feature in macOS 10.15.5 is designed to improve your battery’s lifespan by reducing the rate at which it chemically ages. The feature does this by monitoring your battery’s temperature history and its charging patterns.

Based on the measurements that it collects, battery health management may reduce your battery’s maximum charge when in this mode. This happens as needed to ensure that your battery charges to a level that’s optimized for your usage—reducing wear on the battery, and slowing its chemical aging." Apple.

Walaubagaimanapun, ciri Battery Health Management ini hanya disokong oleh model komputer riba Apple yang dilengkapi dengan sambungan Thunderbolt 3.

Bermakna hanya model MBP keluaran 2016 atau terbaru dan semua model MacBook Air Retina 2018 atau terbaru sahaja yang menyokong ciri baru ini.

Tetapan Battery Health Management boleh diakses menerusi System Preferences > Energy Saver > Battery Health.
