Best Practice for everyday use

I have 1500X. I use it every night to power my CPAP machine in case power goes out.

What is charging best practice for this scenario?

It is plugged into smart device in my smart home. I can literally charge it or not any time, or condition. ie. Remainig capacity

It uses about 20% of the battery every night.

It is set on battery saver mode right now, but I've not been charging it till it's below 20% remaining. When its charged to >94% the smart plug cuts power to battery.

Like I said I can literally set it to charge or not at any remaing capacity, and I'm wondering what is best practice.

Thanks

    Hi @PhatMatt,

    We typically suggest charging it on a daily basis to keep it at full capacity(depending on the charging profile). This will ensure if there is an emergency where your power goes out, the battery will be able to provide power for as many days as possible.
