Right, but in my case my battery seems to regularly get down into the 40-50% range with just normal driving (particularly on weekends when I'm away from my office charging station), so if I can increase my "floor", then I'm increasing performance. Negligible difference or not, it's still important to me to have maximum performance.
Thank you very much for your responses.
You’re welcome.
Honestly it sounds like you’ve already decided what you want to do and are looking for justification. Outside of the name-calling you’re not going to get any sort of validation because it’s just generally bad practice for the car, the environment, drivability, etc.
Anything under 100% is much healthier for the car and substantially reduces battery degradation. Charging to 95% is significantly healthier for the battery than 100%, for example.
Also the TIME spent at 100% is important. If you truly need 100% daily try to time your charging to complete just before you depart for the day. Letting it sit at 100% is the worst case for degradation.
