Fine... 2 years. I was feeling generous this morning.
And yes, I know Li-Ion. Every laptop that I have sold or serviced for the last several years has used them. That's several hundred laptops, that we track and take care of and know how long the batteries last and when they start to degrade and not hold a full charge.
And yes, I know there are ways to maximize your battery life and life-expectancy, but there will be people using these cars and you can't expect them to always follow the rules about charging, recharging, etc.... regardless of what electronic controls you put into place.
Don't forget that ambient temperature and operating temperature also affect these batteries and they they don't take too well to being over charged.
So yeah, I guess I could use a little primer on these, seeing as I never work with them.....
