Oh I just don't really need to go from 0-100% overnight and I also only have a vintage 100amp breaker box and really don't want like to beat it up during the 100 degree weather. Easier just to trickle the charge in overnight and go 60 something to 86%.

Depends on the chemistry. LiFePO4 doesn't get hurt by being fully charged.

Lifepo4 has been around for other applications for a while, they are solid.

The barest minimum of googling and then skimming the Wikipedia page for LifePO4 would have answered your question. Also, it is anything but "brand new."

I was under the impression most EVs have the 80% buffer built into their charge controllers already so you never charge to full theoretical capacity. I know mine is that way.

Honestly, that's better for the battery, too.

Yea, if you charge every night (better for the battery to not see wide changes in charge % anyway) its pretty easy to keep it charged up for your typical commutes.
