Not so sure about that. I know someone who gave up on a K2 because it consistently overcharged his battery. He couldn't adjust the finishing voltage low enough, and Zivan's distributor simply refused to program it any lower. Others have posted similar experiences here. IMO, the K2 was a decent low-cost EV charger, but the US distributor didn't do it any favors with their stubborn focus on a rolling-boil algorithm.

Also, a given discharge regimen cycles them less deeply.
