Interesting, it seems like keeping the battery at some level below 100% (e.g. 80%) would make sense then because I don't think regen would ever top it off that much right?

My understanding is that after 80% the rate of charge a lithium ion battery can accept diminishes.

Could the 80% Li-on battery accept the charge from the brake regen fast enough? Or would it still have to be drained somewhere else if the battery could not accept it?
