As to the running SoC, what ever we do with a smart charger, the energy management will not hold a 100% SOC in use, it will let the SoC drop to around 80%, before changing the charging phase. Purposely leaves capacity for over-run energy harvesting. |

From my perspective it could be more risky, chance of arcing or shorting while connecting. As to the life of the battery, how is it saving it? BTW, my battery is going into the 10th winter (not sure how much longer I can expect it to last) and that only gets a 'top up' from the front terminals. |

Perhaps I should have mentioned, the charger I use is of the 'maintenance' type.
Maximum output is 2 amps - designed for topping up and 'float' charging. If you need to connect a rapid charger for a flat battery, maybe you would be better off disconnecting it. But BMW still say use the under bonnet jump start connection for this. ?
