Hi folks,
I'd say for 85% of my driving I am off to the office, visit same customers, drive home, charge. Rinse and repeat, and repeat, and repeat, and repeat.....
Got me to wondering: Is there benefit to randomizing the level of discharge I let the battery get to? How about the charge? I charge to the recommended range every night, which leaves me around ~240 rated range every morning. I go on a trip once in a blue moon that requires superchargers etc. (one time in last ~5,000 miles)
What's the collective thought on this question? I know lithium batteries don't have the same "memory" that older chemistry batteries have, but I still have the nagging thought that maybe it would be better to switch things up ever so often.
