Perry,
The only reason to charge to 100% with Li is to "reset" the battery management system and "balance" the cells. Once a month appears to have several votes.
thats only if you have active balancing as part of the BMS. but its true more and more are coming out with it now. for me the reason to charge to 100% is so you have 100% of your capacity available if you need it. there no issue for repeatadly charging to 100% whie you out camping if your using the battery. just don't charge it completly before storage most people say. so for myself I would just turn off my charge controler at like 70%
I myself do not understand the reason for that. through a bunch of reading all people say is because the self discharge is lower, so...... I would like to see some actual real info on what happens to the battery if you do. granted I have never specificly looked for that so it may me easy to find, but niether have I seen the real reasons in any post.
