Battery Health Management

I just went to the Australian page: https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT211094

"How to control the battery health management feature

Battery health management is on by default when you buy a new Mac notebook with macOS 10.15.5, or after you upgrade to macOS 10.15.5 on a Mac notebook with Thunderbolt 3 ports."

According to this article, it is all MacBook/Pros with Thunderbolt 3 ports.

Was this section not in the article you read?

An Early 2014 MBA isn't going to have a Thunderbolt 3 port. I think it doesn't even have Thunderbolt 2.

My MacBook Air has one Thunderbolt 1 port.

The text on the Australian site is almost identical to the US one but it is missing the bit about needing Thunderbolt 3 ports.

I have the same question. As I'm in Australia, I looked at this page About battery health management in Mac notebooks – Apple Support and it doesn't mention any conditions other than having 10.15.5 on a MacBook to have battery management. I have a MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2014) running 10.15.5 and I cannot see a "Battery Health" option in "Energy Saver".

That's kind of strange. It's not like it needed much translation.

I agree :-)

Someone at Apple was listening. :-)
