I'm not worried either, even if I was, from what people are saying, I think my normal use seems to be good for the battery anyway.
I usually let it get down to around 70 miles left on the GOM then add 30-40 miles for free at Tescos, on average about once a week (occasionally twice) as I only do around 40 miles a week.
I've only charged it to full 3 times, once when I first got my home charger, to make sure it was working, then on two occasions where I went to the coast for a day out, just topping up to 95% on the way back on a CCS.
I think the fuss about manual battery management is much ado about nothing anyway, if the battery needs replacing in say 8 or 10 years time, you may get a newer technology battery that gives better performance in range and longevity and cost less.
40 Miles a week is not normal usage. The battery will probably outlast you before you will ever need to replace it. It will take you 48 years to put a 100.000 miles on the odometer.
