Battery management techniques for a vehicle include a set of sensors configured to measure a set of parameters of a battery of the vehicle and a controller configured to control recharging of the battery to a first target state of charge (SOC) corresponding to optimized battery life when a mileage of the vehicle is less than a threshold mileage corresponding to an expected transport period of the vehicle, wherein controlling the recharging of the battery to the first target SOC prevents battery malfunctions and thereby reduces vehicle warranty costs for an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of the vehicle, and control recharging of the battery to a second target SOC determined by a cost-based optimization technique when the mileage of the vehicle reaches the threshold mileage.
