Common Recharge Problem

Trust me, it isn't an object, it is an intelligent comms device that controls its charging cycle.
I know, I hold a Masters Degree in Electrical engineering from Cambridge University.
Follow my advice.
As a relevant digression, consider why Toyota's Hybrid batteries (originally guaranteed for 8 years) have been lasting 10 years and 250,000 miles while still being able to maintain 80% charge.
This is because their charging cycle was 'over designed' and limited the amount the batteries are allowed to discharge (20%), the amount the batteries are allowed to charge (80% capacity) and the charging rate.
Always follow the manufacturer's instructions.
