I owned my X100D in less than 2 weeks now. I don't drive much during the week but I do make a trip to central coast california every week. There is a supercharging station just down the street from my house. What I typically do is charge my X to 80% on Sunday and this would last me until Friday morning and never fall below 50%. On Friday I would then use supercharger to charge it to 80% and go home and charge the rest to 100% for Friday night trip to central coast.

As you can see, all my charging needs can be accomplished with supercharging station.

Is charging from home ( less amp charging) really different than charging at supercharging station ( high amp charging)? Since I own my X, I would like to extend and protect battery life as much as possible.

Overall, If I continue to use supercharging station for all my charging needs will it hurt my car battery in the long run?

your comments will be greatly appreciated
