Deliberatly Limiting batteries charge

{these are some comments based on the study linked by mondeo man}

High temperature is a major cause of cell degrdation. So they do use it to accelerate tests. Otherwise by the time they have their results we will have experienced the same findings in our own experiences, so not useful.

They use the term (in the study linked by modeo manh edited for clarification of my following statement) soc throughout - but the use of the term (and run this through chat gpt if you like) 0% refers to under 2.55v per cell and 100% refers to 3.65v per cell. Almost no commercially programmed bms uses that range. So the battery bought off the shelf is already using the cells in studies concluded optimal range for longevity/design life

As a further thought. The electronics on the bms after 10 years would be more of a concern for me. In my experience (if the battery is treated correctly) cells can be ok, but the most replaced part is the bms as electronics fail for what ever reasons and age.
