    Just wonder how often you do a Full recon and how often you just charge and balance. I am new to this and trying to decide on a schedule for it. 2 2007's and 2 2008's (o8's are my parents cars)

    I am thinking about a 2 month cycle ATM (recon wait 2months balance wait 2 months recon)

    You should charge balance every 3 months and recondition (discharge) every 6 months.

    I think that to be a good recommendation! I've not had any probs (touch wood) with my Traction-Battery (6-7 years old, 113kmiles) so it's just Preventative Maintainance! (you know it makes sense! ;))
