And when I do charge to 100% that "juice" is used the next morning after an overnight charging.The rule of thumb is that Lithium batteries will lose life span and can possibly swell up if charged to 100%. Knowing that Ford went conservative and doesn't permit us to charge to 100%, they hold a lot in reserve. We can charge to "100%" of the non-reserved portion. On top of being conservative they took it one step further and said that best practice is to not charge past 90% unless you need that juice soon.
Remember, Ford warrantees the batteries for 8 years. They're doing what they think is best to not have to replace batteries under warranty. I believe they've gone ultra conservative to protect themselves.
