Yeah, I had a brain fog yesterday...they are Calcing SOC based on Fully charged voltage and dead which is about a 1-1.1v swing, so 80% would be roughly .2v down from full. Without knowing what values they are actually using it would be hard to say what they are considering 80% and then on top of it any SOC measurements on a battery that is in a running vehicle is guesstimating at best. I guess, I am still surprised they would only be shooting for 80% soc. I guess if I cared enough I would go measure what it was doing but I just put a charger on it a few times a year and call it good. My battery is from 2020 and seems to be okay, though probably nearing the end of it's life.My understanding of State of Charge is wildly different from this. https://image.slideserve.com/666777/state-of-charge-l.jpg Looking at the things I've read, 80% should be around 12.4-12.5V OCV/resting (sources differ). What's even more odd is that when my battery was down around 12.6V resting, the truck would say it was about 60-65% SoC and things behaved oddly. Frankly, I'd agree that there is probably something screwy going on. Interstate Batteries mentions 12.64 being 75% SoC, but they don't specify whether that's AGM or something else.
