Hi all as a low mileage user I only top the battery up to 80% about every 3 weeks does anyone know when or how often you should charge to 100% and let the battery equalise ?
Hello siteguru,Which version do you have? LR models are recommended for 100% / BMS balance once a month; SR models (with the LFP battery pack) are recommended to be done weekly.
Ok, I’ll give it a go this weekend. ThanksYou need to be able to leave it so that it reaches 100% and then has a few hours to be able do a balance - maybe at the weekend?
Balancing can take anywhere from 0.1kWh to 1kWh depending on how far unbalanced the pack isIf the car is at 100%, how much more electricity does the balancing take?
It’s a potential expense I didn’t consider I’d need on my SR.
The 4 x cheap night hours I get suited both the leafs I’ve had since 2015 just fine, having to overrun those and go onto peak electricity would be annoying.
Yes it should doI don't have a charger at home. If I connect it to a PodPoint overnight, which charges it to 100% by say 4am. Should it balance by the time I pick it up at 9am?
