Oh, I was always under the assumption having a car on a high % charge just being sat there not being used is bad.milkyway55 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 23, 2024 10:13 pmOf courseTaylorT2 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 23, 2024 8:24 pmSo even if the battery was charged to let's say 80% and has been sat there since January until April, that the battery is absolutely fine?milkyway55 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 23, 2024 7:57 pm

I thought this was why people always say don't charge to 100%
Yeah I suppose. It annoys me as I don't want the battery to already be in a worse condition than it should be as it's a brand new car, I'm the first owner.
Just want to receive it in its best shape
