How to prolong the life and capacity of the e-Golf battery

[cove3]

Here are 3 useful links I found on how to prolong the life and capacity of the battery
Key does seem to be to try and keep it in the 40-80% range, don't overcharge or undercharge, avoid excess CCS charging, etc. Getting Car-net charge level scheduling to work seems important in achieving this

I am not interested in only using 80% of my battery's capacity to prolong the life of the battery. I want to charge it to 100% every time. If the battery can't handle it over the course of 8 years by charging to at least 70% of the original 24.2 kWh, I get it replaced under warranty, right?

That's how I look at it, only more so as I've leased the car for three years. If the next person gets 5 years out of it and then it's replaced under warranty, that's OK with me.
