You want to conserve your charge for when you need to hide underwater. I travel on the surface until a contact is made or I am approaching known enemy locations. The only time that changes is when I am low on diesel fuel and need to conserve that. Then I only allow the charge to drop to 50% before surfacing for a charge. A surfaced u-boat is almost helpless if attacked.
