    Charge Cycles: A terrible metric

    Sounds good, i'll probably keep charging to 90% or 85% then, and doing the charge to 100% couple times a year thing for calibration. I should be taking at least that many trips :P I use 20% of the battery (40 miles) to drive 20 miles to work and back. I leave sentry mode enabled at the office...

Which is a huge difference.. [I can't edit the original post?]
