Battery management techniques​

We plan to cover the following discussion points:

• Different battery chemistries and what they like / don't like, general advice on SOC and what hurts a battery and what they like/don't like.
• Expectations on battery life from high mileage reports, warranty cover from MG.
• Generic advice from MG on 10-100% charging every 3-6 months for calibration purposes.
• Life with LFP: how to charge, when to charge, what keeps the battery healthy, range in winter, preheating (which seems to help a bit)
• Life with NMC: 80/100 charging, how often, why, etc...
• Balancing the battery: what is this, why does it matter?
