I would guess that if it is common knowledge that charging to 100% is detrimental to the battery pack, Nissan knows it as well. Therefore, with battery degradation/warranty concerns, Nissan, in order to give the owner the satisfaction/confidence that his/her battery is "FULL", the dash shows 100% when it is actually a few "volts" short. Everyone wins! :lol:

In a nutshell, your LEAF shows only part of what is usable. LEAF Spy shows real SOC. You "can't" charge on 100% on a properly functioning BMS but LEAF will show 100% simply because that is as much charge as you will get.
The real issue becomes when you are at zero SOC on dash or "_ _ _" (this is not same as GOM version btw) since you still have miles in the tank. This makes LEAF Spy all that more valuable if you are needing that extra few miles.
