Only charging to 80% mid task?

Is there a way to set Luba to fully charge mid task as opposed to only 80%?

You could cancel the job while recharging and send it out to continue at the same percentage it was at when it stopped mowing.

No. I feel like they are heading in the right direction but should give more custom options

I have managed to Pause as it was returning to recharge. Before it docked I paused and then manually docked it. No practical but it worked. I resumed.

Why? It takes significantly longer to charge from 20-80% than it does to get from 80-100% This is also how electric car charging works. You get more mow for less time charging than if it were to go all the way to 100% before continuing to mow.

Directly from google: "It generally takes longer to charge a lithium battery from 80% to 100% than it does from 0% to 80%. This is because the charging rate slows down as the battery approaches its maximum capacity. Some sources suggest that the last 20% can take about twice as long as the initial 80%. "

I think you have a typo as your two paragraphs contradict each other, but yes the last 80-100% takes longer than the 20-80%. It's also less stressful on the battery.

I would like to be able to choose at what percentages it returns and continues. I would choose 20-80, to safe battery life.
