We need to talk about battery lifespan
#3
Not me. This is why I'd like to see user-configurability. I had a "phone" that did the 80% charge then discharge to 20% thing. Nothing in the world as frustrating as charging something overnight to have a dead battery in the morning so that the battery could last 10 in stead of 8 years in a device that's only useful for 5.

I fully expect cars will be this way if everyone has electric cars. The power companies are all planning to use your car for load leveling. Charge all night, but your battery is dead because you went to use your car three hours earlier than you normally do, and it was really hot last night so everyone's air conditioners were running. (Of course, I have bigger doubts about our power grids being able to support large numbers of electric cars anyway.)
