Is it OK to charge for a short time, say from 40% to 50% to assure range for the intended trip?
I try and only charge every other day, doing 2 full round trip commutes, which is about 68 miles total. I typically end up at the end of day 2 with about 15% and about 15 miles range remaining.
However on occasion I give it a short 30 minute charge before leaving for work on day 2, to give me a little reserve.
Is doing less full charges from 15% (less often) better than charging from 50% everyday?
* Charge once every two days from say 15% to 95% (with an optional short charge as required)
* Charge every day from about 45% to 95%,
* Charge every day from about 25% to 80%
Which is best for battery life and efficiency, Reading other threads charging to 80% saves in energy/cost.
