What to manage
| Item | Practice |
|---|---|

Fleet-level points
- Charging station capacity decides fleet availability more than battery size.
- A single degraded battery can distort fleet scheduling.
- Keep a record of each pack's cycles and health.
Follow the manufacturer's charging and storage instructions for your battery chemistry.
