What are the best practices for Home Charging for Prologues

[Shugs]

I want to improve my battery life by keeping the charge level between 20% and 80%, what tips or settings can I use to maintain this range? Is there a feature to automate charging limits?

Great question! To keep your Honda Prologue's battery between 20% and 80%, first check to see if the car's app or settings allow you to set charging limits. Some EVs allow you to program these limits, which can aid in battery management. Using a smart home charger that allows you to set charging times can also be useful. Regularly monitoring your battery levels will allow you to stay within this range and avoid overcharging. Additionally, consulting the Prologue's manual for any specific recommendations on battery maintenance is a good idea. Does anyone else have any tips or features for optimizing home charging for the Prologue?

Thanks mate,
I guess a smart home charger will be the best option for me.

I usually charge mine when it reaches about 60% full. You can charge it to 100%, especially on long winding road trips, but it is not recommended to charge it to 100% all the time, especially if you are only driving in the city.

Makes perfect sense, the idea is to not charge to 100% too frequently.

You are on the right track. You are really doing a great job. What range do you usually need daily? Once a week (up to twice) it is ok if you charge it 100%.

These guys said almost everything, haha! Another thing you should have in mind @Shugs is the temperature. Extreme temperatures can affect battery life. When parking for extended periods and it is cold outside, try to find shade or a garage to keep the battery in a moderate temperature range.

Thanks! I usually need about 150-200 miles a day, so keeping it between 20-80% works well for me.

Thanks for the tip! I’m in Virginia, so I’ll keep an eye on the temps here. I’ll definitely park in the garage more during those colder days.

Then you have no reason to charge it to 100% often. Keep it up!

Definitely do that!
