It is currently under a car cover, but if is better to keep it constantly charged, I'm willing to take it out.
The car will be sitting for a few months as I work from home. What's the best way to keep the battery healthy? It is currently under a car cover, but if is better to keep it constantly charged, I'm willing to take it out. Thoughts?
Been floating mine at 50% for the past twoish weeks. Had to go to the office this morning, so charged to 90%. Seems good so far. Teslas like to be plugged in and lithium ion batteries like to be at 50% SOC. Seems like a no brainer.
I understand the 50% is there LI battery wants to be. But I have not read anything that says charging it to 80-90% then letting it vampire drain to 50% is a problem or does damage to the battery.
You asked what is best, not if you can charge to 90 and let it drain. Sure why not. Its the same as driving it.
China has their own plug types that are referred to as GB/T. There is one for AC charging and one for DC charging in that format. That's what those two plug types are. This was first getting noticed and covered back in about January 2019 when they first started shipping the Model 3 into China. Here are some articles and forum threads about it.I noticed a Model 3 at the Chinese giga factory video has a new charge port? What are we seeing here?
