Hi,
From everything I have read on line, there are two main ways to prolong the life of the battery pack.

1) Don't discharge below 20% and don't recharge over 80%
2) The least amount of charging the better.

I use 20% of the battery pack per day.
I have been recharging every 4th day, to 100%.

If I only charge to 80%, I'll have to recharge every 3rd day.

So what is going to be better for the battery life, recharge to 100% but only every 4th day or recharge to 80% every 3rd day?
 
You forgot one of the biggest issues with Leaf battery packs: heat. I always consider the temperature of the pack every time I plug-in (I live in a hot climate). Your profile doesn't say where you live, but there's at least a hundred threads on the forum that discuss optimal battery care/charging habits.
 
Thanks for the replies LeftieBiker and Staton.
I live in New Zealand, so heat shouldn't be an issue.
