Hello,
Some people are claiming, that once a year I should drive my battery to 0% and then charge it to 100% with the idea, that the BMS knows what capacity the battery has and to balance the cells.
Others say, driving to 0% is not healthy for the battery and should be avoided , it’s long it’s not badly needed. The BMS calibrates itself automatically and the battery is also balanced all the time when needed.
So, what is true? Should drive my battery once a year down to 0% and charge it to 100%? Or is this not needed at all?
