I have done multiple searches on how to balance the battery and get even more confused with the more I read.
I have a 2008 roaster, #466, with 36K on the odometer. I am not using the car as a daily driver and have been charging with the 110 volt charger. (My wife's S model has been hogging the 240 volt outlet in the garage).
After charging in standard mode, my ideal mileage is consistently reading 170 miles. When I take to roadster out for a drive I am normally putting only 20 to 30 miles on it. When I get back home I plug it back in to top it off.
Questions.
Is it better to charge with the 240 volt charger or is it OK to use the 110v charger? Or does it make no difference at all regarding balancing the battery?
Should I do a one time Range charge to help balance the battery?
Not sure if this matters, but the previous original owner maintained the car like clockwork and did the annual service each year. He used it has his daily driver but his total commute was less than 15 miles a day.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
