Default Re: Battery education

With dumb batteries, such as those in a laptop, it's a good idea not to charge every time and cycle down to 20%. A manual approach to cycling batteries.

The smart EV batteries solves this overhead and does it all for you. This allows the battery to choose which cells to use be it because they're at the best temp, they havn't been used in many cylces, etc. The key is to assist the battery in managing itself in the best way possible.

So, yes, it is best to charge the car to 80% even if you drive only 10 miles.
