You know, I've wondered about this myself, not just for the Volt. But with the last vehicle we built I talked to A123 and Saft, and both said that the latest and greatest Li traction batteries aren't phased by that type of cycling at all. The A123 rep said that their batteries can be run to 0% SOC without damage. Our old NiMH batts would be toast if we did that. Heck, anything below 20% was in danger of permanent battery capacity loss.
