Lithium batteries degrade with use due to charging/discharging. They degrade over time regardless of use. They will happily hold their charge for weeks, though storing a battery with high or low charge also degrades the battery. For long-term storage, it should be around 50% full as this is close to the equilibrium point for the internal chemical reaction.


There is no proof that rapid charging degrades the battery, merely unproven conjecture. And don't forget that in normal driving the car charges the battery way more than 50% of the time once it shows empty (or you press Charge or Save).


Basically using the car degrades the battery; not using it degrades the battery. :roll:
