I'm no geek, techie, or engineer but I'm curious what you think of this advice. It isn't what I usually read about battery care. |
I think this advice was relevant maybe fifteen years ago, but things have moved on, and fully discharging the battery is the opposite of what you should be doing. The modern batteries are happier being kept topped up, preferably before they drop below 40% or so. I put my Oasis on the charger for a top up every day, usually when it’s sround 65-70%.
