Charging battery

Which preserves the life of the battery: Charging 100% every other day or charging at 80% every day. We have a 2013 Leaf with the level 2, 240 V home charger.Thanks.

there are advocates of both, it my opinion ( no scientific support ) that charging to 80% on a regular basis and topping off to 100% in preparation of a longer trip is the prudent method. that said battery degradation isn't a real concern for me because I took a 2 year lease, just to avoid issues like this

I just bought my first 2014 leaf and was wondering if the car stops charging when it reaches 100%.

Yes, it automatically stops charging when full.

I charge to 100% everytime and see no issues so far.

I tried the method linked by Nicodomeus, but my 2015 Leaf's timer programming doesn't offer the option to change charge level.
The piece is old--from 2012. Maybe the software's changed.?.?
Anyone able to do this lately?
