    Lead acid batteries like to be kept fully charged all the time and don’t like to be discharged below 50% state of charge.

    Lithium batteries like to be kept around half charged. They degrade quicker when kept at a high or low state of charge. Running lithium batteries from 20-80% does extend the lifespan, but charging to 100% is fine when you need to go on a longer trip. Just don’t keep it at 100% for long periods of time.

      I think the BYD blade batteries can go down to 20% and up to 100% weekly. Though tbh I probably keep mine too high, I should lower it a bit closer to 80%…
