Mini Electric Hatch charge limit

[657auditnational]

Anyone else frustrated by the lack of a charge limit setting on the Mini Electric Hatch? The manual says to keep the battery between 10-80% for optimal life, but Mini says tough luck, no such feature. This seems like a dodgy way to dodge warranty claims later on. What are you guys doing to manage your battery health?

I always charge mine up to 100%. That way I don't get range anxiety. I just make sure not to leave it plugged in for too long and keep the battery level above 20%

It seems like charging to 100% isn't bad, but it's best to avoid leaving the battery full for too long. Mini's departure time thing can help with this. While it's a bit annoying to change the time all the time, it's a good way to make the battery last longer.
