If AAKEEs most recently posted science paper on calendar aging carries over, then 80% may be the worst for NCA, worse than 90% or 100% for calendar aging. It's also the most common result on the poll now. (though cyclic aging near the top is bad too).
Personally I now do 50% limit most of the time. Infrequent 90-100% for travel. It's inconvenienced my life exactly never. Performance at 50% is just fine.
Every once in a while, a charge to 80%+ and then a few days of normal driving without charging to help recalibrate the BMS, charge up again when < 35%. Improved range estimates.
I have 348-350 / 358 miles after 11 months, with no clear degradation last 6 months. The science works. I really appreciate reading all the info here, it changed my behavior for sure and I think it's working. If the sqrt(t) degradation model holds up, then avoiding the high degradation in the first year is very important and will continue to have benefits for years to come.
