I've just bought a (3rd hand) e-bike: it's a few years old but appears to have clocked only 500odd km, and was a lot cheaper than buying new.
I've done about 30km so far in short trips and so-far, so good
.But i am slightly unsure how best to charge it up when doing small trips; I assumed as it is a Li-poly battery that it's best to keep it 80-90% as best as i can judge and periodically up to 100% for equalization - so no need to charge daily after short trips use. The manual (yes i do actually read them) says it should always be fully recharged after use (see pics).
Obviously there's no warranty, I just want to get the best life from the li-poly battery i can, so with all the battery-experienced members on this forum i thought i would ask:
should i follow the manufacturers instructions? or let it lie a day or three before charging?
. So majority opinion is i should just recharge every time and, unanimously, not worry 
. I've also been telling myself that the battery has had to survive whatever the previous owners have done to it so worrying at this point is probably a waste of time.
