Most weekdays I'm driving the LEAF about 10-20 miles per day. Therefore, I have been setting my charge timer to end at 80% @ 9:30am with an estimated departure of 7:45am. This way when I unplug I have about 8 bars. Since my commute is 5 miles each way plus errands, I figured this will help the battery to not sit at higher SOC levels. I typically recharge when I hit 2 or 3 bars left (counting the red bars).
Any thoughts or issues about this related to battery longevity? (I do not have a GID meter.)
P.S. I still charge to 80% on occasion - mostly weekends or for specific trips. I haven't charged to 100% in over a month.
