So the "Battery life - Charge to 80% or 100%" thread got me to thinking. Is there any evidence that charging at 1.2, 3.3 or 6 is better one way or another? Ignoring the speed of charge or the ability to pre-heat / cool the cabin in the equation, in other words if you had any options available and time and climate control wasn't an issue, which is preferred to extend battery life? I know in the lead acid world, charging to slow eventually causes the plates to sulfate and charging to fast can warp plates and off gas requiring the need to add water. Or are these rates all well within the "normal" range for the Leaf's batteries?
Just thinking out loud, but would charging at a lower rate would reduce battery heating and extend battery life?
