Hello all.
So, downunder I never (had to) charge my very own LW on Level 3, I always charged in the shed overnight i.e. Level 1 / plugged into ye standard power socket.
Now, I have a rental, with no access to a power socket where work has rented me an apartment. I have so far charged it at a charging point for electric bicycles, entirely successfully, as I am only commuting and city-sightseeing on it. A bit of a pain in the proverbial as the nearest such charge point is a 2 km return trip walk away, but what the heck.
This weekend I'll get out and about a bit more, and expect to drain the battery. I know that I should not use Level 3 fast charging more than once every total 4 charges. And I won't, as I don't want to treat a rental differently than my own machine, for battery longevity etc.
Therefore questions please:
Thanks in advance!

Therefore questions please:
- if I fast charge from say 50% to 90%, is that as stressful on the battery as from 10% to 100%, and is the charge recorded the same way in the onboard software? (I assume the rental dealership will check charging patterns).
- if I slow charge 3 times from 70-95%, am I correct in assuming that does not count / show up in the software as 'charging at Level 1 three times' because it's only a partial charge each time? I'm not trying to cheat, only want to be sure I stick by The Rulez.
Thanks in advance!
