I know that we are advised to leave our cars plugged in when not in use for best battery conditioning, etc. However, if you are using delayed charging, is there still a reason to plug in before charging starts? Say I get home at 6pm with charging set to start at 12am... and assume I may head out for a short trip at 8pm. Does it make sense to plug it in from 6-8 since it won't charge during that time? Bottom line: does battery conditioning, etc. still take place when plugged in with delayed charging?
Thank you
