Here’s one from the FAQ section

A good way of charging Li-ion batteries is usually 20-80-20. However, our BMS takes care of limiting upper and lower capacity to some extent and hence it should not matter much if you charge 0-100-0 or 20-80-20.

If you charge 0-100-0, you have consumed 1 full cycle, whereas if you charge 20-80-20 you utilize a partial cycle. Hence the count of cycles will differ based on charging behavior. By 20-80-20, one can stretch the life of battery even longer.

Since your usage per day is very less, try to keep the 20-80-20 cycle. But any other charge cycle based on a different usage pattern should not bother you as the BMS is already limiting the upper and lower capacities to a certain extent
