But when I return, I'll be able to fully charge it using your grid charger before I drive my Insight anywhere, so hopefully that will help in the long run.
Art, after a couple of months, the imbalance will be there no matter what the temperature. You really need to charge it before you drive it, or you'll be taking the ferry to visit Peter next fall.
