minus-squareEmwe@lemmy.worldto[Dormant] Electric Vehicles@lemmy.world•TIL it's better to charge a little every day than let your battery get low before recharging.linkfedilinkarrow-up0·10 months agoIt’s actually true - Any battery has a nominal percentage at where to both discharge and charge to, to extend battery life by a great deal. E.g for your phone, it’s roughly at 30% to discharge to and 70-75 to charge to. You don’t have to do this though! And think about it … if Elon can sell you a new battery faster than expected … It’s not like there’s any reason for him to tell you about this 😂 linkfedilink
