I am going to describe what I think might be a typical situation for a lot of us. My daily commute round trip is maybe 25 miles. Add in groceries, errands, etc. and I MIGHT put 30 miles on the car per day. So now I'm in a pickle. I want to do what's best for the battery! I can easily go 2 days without recharging. I've already got the timer to go to 80%. So my question is, which is better for the battery: charging every night and never using the bottom half of the battery capacity, or charging less frequently but using more of the battery? Let's assume I will never use the "top fifth" (80%-100%) or the "bottom fifth" (0%-20%) of the battery (per the manual's recommendations).
A) Only using the "top" part of the battery's capacity (50-80%), but charging more frequently (every night).
B) Using more of the battery (20-80%), but charging less frequently (every other night or so).
