Lithium chemistry is more sensitive at the extremes of charge. As I understand
it, the best battery life is achieved by maintaining the battery "in the
middle" e.g. between 40% and 80% of capacity. This is why when you get a new
cell phone, it's roughly half-charged.
In fact if you discharge th

Turn off all chargers during the heat of the day - afternoon. Charge only
at night - it will help even out the load - the utilities should appreciate
that.
I still think that the life span and recycling of the batteries is where
the real limits are.
