I mean, I was just gonna unplug it at 80 and plug it back it at 40.
Beforehand I couldn’t just leave it cause it would go to 100%.
If your referring to always keeping it plugged in, can’t I cap it at 60% then?
No, I'm referring to the fact that unplugging early to avoid decreasing the battery health and therefore capacity makes no sense... Because you're decreasing the battery capacity by only using 80% of it's charge
What about only charging to 80% until I actually go on a road trip?
It’s same with electric cars, there is day to day mode and road trip mode.
Short term vs long term gains.
