    But you can still choose to charge it to 100% when you anticipate you need that extra 20%. So it’s not really “already degraded” it’s just “on demand”.

      Which has consequences. Spontaneously staying out if you didn’t decide to charge to 100% the night before and running out of battery.

      It’s not “on demand” it’s “in stock ready for dispatch.”

      I don’t want to have to order a day ahead to get a non-degraded battery.

        If you keep it at 80% it doesn’t take a day to charge to full. As long as you know 1 or 2 hours in advance, it’ll be full.

        But yeah, if your use-case is that you spontaneously need to leave your charger and require your full battery capacity, you should keep charging it to full. Maybe even get a powerbank as well.
