Charging to 100% or 90% battery? how is better?

[BestDad90]

Hey everyone!
I am pretty new to the forum, so I am sorry if this has been already answered elsewhere.
I have been reading up and watching some YT videos about whether it is a good idea to charge my EV to 100% or if it is better to stick to 90% to help with battery longevity.
The manual says 100% is fine, but I am really trying to extend the life of the battery as much as possible.
Any thoughts pls? Ty!

First, welcome to the forum! That's a great question.
Lithium batteries tend to age faster when they are charged to 100% or near full capacity.
80% is recommended most of the time, and 50%-60% if you plan to store your EV for a while.
I charge it to 100% only if I have a long run and I avoid doing it too often. Hope I don't confuse you.

I wil advice you follow the manual, 100 is okay, but not all the time

Oh, really? That's odd! Does it specify how many times per week or month? I haven't checked the manual before. It is far from what I know.
