Hi All,
First special thanks for the guidance in the past from this forum as I acquired a 2012 Leaf with 22 months left on the battery warranty with 10 bars in Texas. We fell to 8 bars in February and had the new warrantied battery put in.
So, I want to now optimize the new battery to last as long as possible. Trying to formulate the charging strategy. I've hear about only charging to 80% to extend the life, but then I have also read in recent post that should take to 100% once in a while to balance battery load.
Is there a more specific recommendation/best practice? Like if this is correct, then how often I should charge at 100%.
I appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Marc
