I'm assuming some of you have looked into this already - what is the charging habit you use for your Levo or Levo SL ebike?
It's not good to leave battery at 100% or too low (less than 20%?) for a prolonged period. Specialized now has a setting to charge to 80%, but I have a few concerns with that:
1. If you charge to 80% after a ride, then top off to 100% before the ride - is that counted as extra "charge cycles" in the app?
2. Is that actually good for the battery life? Or are multiple charges worse than a long charge?
3. Another drawback is forgetting and showing up to the ride with 80% - especially bad on Levo SL where battery is very limited.
Maybe it doesn't even matter, and it takes 100's of charges to 100% before you even notice degradation? I'd be fine with that, but if it's ~50 cycles then I'm probably there very soon. And again - IDK what counts as a "cycle".
Thoughts?
