Or you can follow the advice of an engineer from Tennessee that Tom True talked to - "The final recommendation from him was to discharge the pack to 10 miles or so in range (according to the instrumentation), and fully recharge about once a month to "refresh" the battery" Which totally contradicts what the engineer said in the sentence before, " Explaining that if you let the battery pack get below 10%, it would typically brick (not allow a charge), and above 90%, that your could experience a thermal even ( Thermal runaway & fire)."
Confusing, right?
