I have a 50-mile commute and can charge at work.
My question has to do with the best strategy for charging to maintain battery health and limit pack degradation. Charge on only one end, or charge at home and work so that the battery cycles between 6 and 10 bars, and is rarely below 4 bars?
I charge to 80%.
The roundtrip takes 8 bars. I typically get home with the two red bars remaining.
For the past several months, I have been charging at work and running it up to 80% or 10 bars, from 5 or 6 when I arrive. The same thing at home; arrive back with 5 or 6 bars, recharge to 10 bars overnight.
Is it best to keep the battery pack at 6 - 10 bars by charging at work and home, rather than only charging at home; which brings the pack down to 1 or 2 bars.
(Cost is not really an issue.)
To add another parameter, I can charge either L2 or L1 at work, unless the L2s are ICED, where I revert to L1.
