Just bought a 2013 SV with 56K miles and 10 bars. Will be using it for around-town errands and round trips of less than 50 miles, and occasionally longer trips with pre-planned QC options.
I have tried to read the many threads on 80% vs 100% charging, but haven't come across an answer to a fundamental question: If the battery capacity is already down to 10 bars (approximately 80% of the original capacity, if I understand correctly), does an 80% limit mean I can charge only to 64% of original capacity?
Or put another way, if I am already down to ~80% of original range, is there any reason not to charge to 100% of the available capacity a few hours before driving?
Thanks in advance for helping a newbie figure this out.
