Even with daily usage the yarbo is still sitting idle on the docking station with the battery at 100% SOC. Long periods of time at very high or very low SOC causes significantly accelerates capacity degradation in NCM Li-ion batteries. This is even worse as it sits outside in the heat all day. Not charging regularly above 70%-80% would significantly extend battery longevity. Also, in the future it may be useful to s… > [@Ability to set max charge level when not on a job](https://forum.yarbo.com/t/ability-to-set-max-charge-level-when-not-on-a-job/3434): > > This is once work is done and it returns to charge.
