That means not over inflating the tires to crazy levels, not charging to 100% every charge, not running the battery below 3 bars, not driving or charging when the battery temperature is above 7 bars.
So I drive a gasoline car when I go to Amarillo.
How often is battery temp high? I feel like its been 110 every day.
